The Oakland A's wanted to honor reliever Liam Hendriks for his MLB All-Star appearance by celebrating his excellence with an ad in The Australian, a major newspaper Down Under. However, the advertisement inadvertently did the opposite.
On the day before the game, the Athletics bought a full page advertisement in The Australian, calling out Hendriks' impressive player statistics for the first half of the baseball season, and when and how to watch the game in the country.
