Facebook pages of MLB clubs hacked
Combined reports
ATLANTA — The Facebook pages of several Major League Baseball teams were hacked Thursday afternoon. In some cases, existing content was replaced with status updates ranging from mildly amusing to downright vulgar.
Teams affected included the Miami Marlins, San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs.
According to sports blog Deadspin, the Marlins' page announced: "Just a reminder tonight is FREE PITBULL NIGHT at Marlins Park. The first 10,000 fans ages 18 and under will receive a free rescued fighting Pitbull courtesy of the Dade County Animal Rescue League."
Pit bulls are banned in Miami-Dade County.
DJ EJECTED FROM GAME: The music stopped at Jackie Robinson Ballpark in Daytona Beach after a minor league umpire ejected the music DJ for playing "Three Blind Mice" during the game.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports Cubs manager Brian Harper was arguing a call at first base when he heard home plate umpire Mario Seneca bellow "you're out."
Harper says he thought he was being kicked out of the game. Instead, the umpire ejected the music man.
