On Tuesday night, Derek Jeter made his final All-Star appearance. As he stepped off the field in the top of the 4th inning, the Yankees captain received a massive standing ovation from the crowd.
Afterward, @CBSNews tweeted this out:
Which naturally led to a ton of people tweeting about #MichaelJeter...
What CBS intern confused (presumably) Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter? #MichaelJeter is the surprising highlight of this #AllStarGame
Michael Jeter's farewell is as inspiring as Michael Jackson's "Flu Game." #michaeljeter
A major tie to my childhood is over the second #MichaelJeter retires.
Or is his half-brother Jadaveon Manziel? #MichaelJeter @CBSNews
And then "Michael Jeter" became the No. 1 trending topic worldwide on Twitter.
And, of course, the Wikipedia page for the REAL Michael Jeter was changed.
15 minutes later, CBS News deleted the tweet and sent out a correction.
Whoops, we meant to say DEREK Jeter takes bow at his final All-Star game http://t.co/csJROOgNWU
