On Thursday, the Almanac incorrectly reported that the minor-league pro basketball Pit Bulls would be moving to Our Fair City. Due to a typographical error (Ed. Note: No, actually due to our own incompetence), we spelled the team's name incorrectly and gave the wrong location for their games.
The Pennsylvania Pit Bulls will be playing their home games at Penn State McKeesport Campus' Wunderley Gymnasium.
(What did we get correct? We spelled "McKeesport" accurately.)
(Ahem.)
Joe Starkey reports in the Trib that former Pitt Panthers stars Julius Page and Jaron Brown are expected to play. The Pit Bulls will be part of the reborn American Basketball Association. The general manager of the franchise is Freddie Lewis, a native of Our Fair City who played in the original ABA for the Indiana Pacers, Memphis Sounds and St. Louis Spirits.
The first tryout camp for the Pit Bulls is being held this weekend at PSM. For more information, visit abalive.com.
The Almanac regrets the errors, and those responsible have been sacked.
