Other Than That, the Story Was Accurate

“An earlier version of this column, using information from the San Francisco Giants, described incorrectly the cast member of ‘Beach Blanket Babylon’ who sang ‘God Bless America’ at Tuesday’s game while wearing a giant hat depicting the San Francisco skyline. She is a performer from the show, not a drag queen from the show.”–New York Times, Oct. 9
