Add this to the file of Things That Went Wrong for the Washington Nationals in 2015: A 2016 calendar for the team's Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. has Fenway Park on the cover. Home of the Boston Red Sox.

Please direct pitchforks and groans to the proper party, though. Per an MLB statement, the licensee committed the error, not the team:
"Major League Baseball has issued a statement on the error. "Our licensee used an incorrect photo in its 2016 Nationals calendar, a product that the Nationals were not involved in producing. We are working quickly to rectify the situation including recalling the calendars from retail."
