When baseball fans buy a team’s official calendar, there are general expectations that they assume will be met regarding their purchase.
Like, for example, each month should feature photos of that team’s players, coaches and maybe even fans. Furthermore, you’d expect to see at least one picture of that team’s ballpark.
One of Major League Baseball’s licensees apparently did not get that memo. Check out the cover for the Nationals 2016 calendar, which features a photo of Fenway Park, instead of Nationals Park.

MLB released a statement on the gaffe and said they will pull the calendars off the shelves.
