Errors and Omissions

What's in a name? #6

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

• In the Sporting Green on Wednesday, a college basketball report gave the wrong last name for Boston Globe sports writer Shira Springer. (7/13)

• In Friday's Sporting Green, an article about the A's gave the wrong date for an altercation this season between the A's and the Los Angeles Angels. It was May 2. Also Friday, the baseball notebook gave the wrong first name for Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Chris Capuano. (7/12)

• In Tuesday's Sporting Green, an article about the Giants and Minnesota Twins misspelled the last name of Twins pitcher Boof Bonser. (7/12)

OK, I see two patterns here. All names were messed up in the sports section, and all names were alliterative. I have no idea what this means. Perhaps I'll ask Boof Bonser.
