Jackie Robinson is one of the most well-known and influential athletes in American history. He also happens to have played 10 years in Brooklyn with the Dodgers, but New York City seems to have forgotten how to spell the legend’s name.
The NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) recently installed a new road sign in Queens for the Jackie Robinson Parkway.
While the sign itself looked great with the silhouette of Robinson on it, the DOT spelled Jackie’s first name ‘Jakie.’
It’s tough to misspell a six-letter name, but the DOT managed to do so.
