Jacoby Jones used to play in the NFL.
JaCoby Jones - with a capital 'C' - didn't.
But that was lost on the commentators for the Atlanta Braves, who mistakenly identified the Tigers outfielder as the former Ravens and Texans wide receiver during the broadcast of the Tigers-Braves game on Monday night.
Chip Caray and Joe Simpson -- take it away:
Here's how it unfolded in real time, via Twitter:

Joe Simpson wonders "I wonder why there's nobody talking about him" compared to Tim Tebow.... Because they are different people.

Chip: "Different JaCoby Jones.... my bad"

Fortunately, Wikipedia was there to set the record straight.
