A Cardinals sponsor is offering a great promotion, giving fans a chance to win a trip to spring training.
The team tweeted out the great news, but there was a small problem: The promotion used a baseball featuring a Cubs logo.

The tweet had been deleted from the Cardinals’ Twitter account later Tuesday morning.
All joking aside, this promotion from American Family Insurance does sound like a great deal for Cardinals fans, offering four tickets to the spring training games March 24-25, airfare and accommodations, a meet-and-greet with Cardinals players and a $1,000 gift card.
We’d like to report that they are playing the Cubs one of these days, but instead they face the Nationals and Marlins.
