One simple mistake can turn the highest honor into a joke.
On the day that a new class enters the Pro Football Hall of Fame that includes former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner, we learned that someone from the 2011 class got surprised when receiving his jacket.
St. Louis Rams running back Marshall Faulk picked up his prized Hall of Fame gold jacket only to see that they had misspelled his name.
Wow. @marshallfaulk 1st Gold Jacket had his name misspelled. So @ProFootballHOF made him an entirely new one. He's wearing the old one today pic.twitter.com/xKQKlzDyLj

After all the years of working so hard to reach the highest honor, only to see that someone didn’t spell check was probably frustrating.
At least they said his name correctly when being enshrined.
