A Pilgrimage
What is it about stories concerning Mike Pilgrim that lead editors to make mistakes?Case I (a): The (New Jersey) Record
HALL BRIEFS: Mike Pilgrim, a 6-8 forward who has announced his intention to transfer to Seton Hall from Cincinnati at the Pirates' practice Monday. Pilgrim is a Cincinnati native and a cousin of Orr, another Cincinnati native.
Case I (b): The (New Jersey) Record
CORRECTION
University of Cincinnati forward Mike Pilgrim did not announce his intention to transfer to Seton Hall, as was reported due to an editing error Wednesday in The Record. He has announced only his intention to leave Cincinnati.
Case II: The New York Daily News
Reports out of Bloomington suggest that 6-8 forward Mike Pilgrim of Indiana - Louis Orr's cousin - may transfer to Seton Hall, which would upgrade the Pirates' frontcourt.
As (correctly) noted above, however, Pilgrim is from Cincinnati, not Bloomington, and attends Cincinnati, not Indiana.
