Gov. Tom Wolf wished the Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies good luck for the MLB season.

Or at least tried to.

Wolf tweeted the message Thursday afternoon, but included the wrong spelling of the Pirates’ nickname, writing “Bucks” instead of Bucs.

The governor deleted the tweet and corrected himself later in the evening with a new tweet.

Both the Pirates and Phillies open their seasons Friday. The Pirates play the St. Louis Cardinals tonight at 8:15 p.m. in St. Louis. The Phillies play at home tonight at 7:05 p.m. against the Miami Marlins.
