My friend Stefan Hagemann sends news of a missing apostrophe, missing from a statue honoring Chicago Cub Ernie Banks. The exhortation on the statue's base — "LETS PLAY TWO" — comes from Banks' catchphrase: "It's a beautiful day for a ballgame. Let's play two."
Sculptor Lou Cella: "I'm the sculptor; I'm not a writer. I just read it the way I heard it in my head."
Cella's added an apostrophe, in the right place too.
(Thanks, Stefan!)
