The description for this pin says Al Lopez was manager of the minor league Indianapolis Indians in 1951. He managed the Cleveland Indians that season. A 60-second check of baseballreference.com would have told this to the writer of the description. Or he could have come on Net54 and asked for help.

Wow they made a mistake. Really outrageous.

Pretty common knowledge if you ask me what Al Lopez was doing in 1951.

Did I say it's common knowledge? No.

Would you expect a lot description to include correct info that's easily accessible online and isn't that obscure in the first place? Most would. But let me guess, not you, Mr. Hot Take.

I get that you like to be a contrarian. Maybe pick your spots better. Especially given your track record of where you throw your support, for what that's worth.
