How MLB insider Jon Heyman created a meme by mistakenly reporting Aaron Judge to the Giants

That's, of course, a pretty big mistake for a veteran journalist. If Heyman was a newbie he'd be toast. Thankfully, for him, he has years of solid reporting that should keep him in the good graces of both fans and teams alike moving forward.

The great thing about the internet, though, is that every moment is an opportunity. Heyman's erroneous report was big news and it got a ton of eyes on it right away. That was especially true for his original Tweet on the matter, a Tweet in which he misspelled Judge's name.

And thus, the Arson Judge meme was born. 

It is worth noting that Heyman has reported — presumably correctly — that the Giants have offered Aaron Judge a contract worth around $360 million.
