The Cardinals Caught Using Something That wasnt Theirs – Again
The St Louis Cardinals were busted for hacking, and they got their wrists slapped in the process. Well it appears they were up to their old tricks yet again, when their marketing people put out this ad.
Seems innocent enough, right?
Well if you look at the ball close enough, you’ll notice a certain logo that doesn’t belong to them. Oh, and it happens to be the logo of their longest and most hated rivals, the Chicago Cubs.

This is rather funny, and while I’m certain this was a mock-up made by American Family Insurance, someone in the marketing or social media department sure looks bad today.
While this tweet isn’t a horrible occurrence, I am a little interested in why these two videos are similar.

With the cubs putting their moving to Mesa, Az video out a full five days before the Cardinals… is their social media team hacking into the Cubs social media now?
