Checked out Saturday's L.A. Times corrections and saw this:
A Jan. 11 Los Angeles Times Magazine article on writer Frank Deford incorrectly stated that Deford collaborated on books with five professional tennis players. In fact, Deford wrote "Big Bill Tilden" in 1975 on his own. The article also referred to Robert Victor Sullivan as a Mississippi prep football coach. He was a junior college football coach.
The irony: The piece the correction refers to was essentially a story about how, esteemed sports writer that he is, Frank Deford doesn't always get his facts straight. (For a lengthy debate over the article's pros and cons, check out this Matt Welch post.)
