Fans are confused after Zach Wilson photo was used for Yankees player image

New York Yankees infielder Jahmai Jones has only been with the team for a few weeks, but he apparently shares some resemblance to that of New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson.

At least, that's what the scoreboard suggested at CoolToday Park, the home of the Atlanta Braves during Spring Training.

During his first at bat in Thursday's exhibition game between the Yankees and Braves, a headshot of Wilson was on the scoreboard to represent Jones when he was hitting. It would later be corrected during his next plate appearance.

Though Wilson did request a trade this offseason, it's unlikely the Yankees are in the market for the No. 2 overall pick from the 2021 NFL draft.

There was no explanation as to why Wilson's photo was used, and fans did not disappoint nonetheless.
