Flushing Flash Accidentally Sends Out Email Honoring Smokey Robinson

This morning, in an incident similar to the recent postal service Statue of Liberty mix-up, the New York Mets email newsletter accidentally sent out an email that was meant to commemorate Jackie Robinson Day with an image of William "Smokey" Robinson where Jackie should have been.  Fortunately the error was caught quickly and only a handful of subscribers received the Smokey version.  A corrected version featuring an image of Robinson's jersey was later sent out to all subscribers.
