Although outfielder Aaron Judge reportedly agreed to a nine-year, $360 million contract Wednesday with the New York Yankees, per multiple outlets, it seemed at one point that he might end up with the San Francisco Giants.

In fact, New York Post baseball columnist Jon Heyman tweeted Tuesday that Judge “appears headed to Giants.”

One thing about that tweet, which was later deleted, Heyman had a typo. He wrote Arson Judge.

Major League Baseball fans had fun with that mistake. It became an instant meme on Tuesday and fans were still asking about Arson on Wednesday.

The creative force of people on Twitter was on display and it was quite entertaining.
