 DENVER (AP) — Troy Tulowitzki has a tough name to spell, even at his own ballpark. 
 
 The Colorado Rockies handed out 15,000 jerseys with the All-Star shortstop's name misspelled in a giveaway gaffe Saturday night at Coors Field. 
 
 The second "t'' was missing, so the backs read "Tulowizki." 
 
 "Is there something wrong with it?" fan Jordan Deuschleman asked. "I didn't notice with the name being so long." 
 
 The club issued a statement apologizing for the mistake. The team said it was aware of the misspelling, but decided to hand out the jerseys before the game against Pittsburgh. 
 
 "Acknowledging that many fans came to the game for the jersey, rather than disappoint them, we decided to go ahead and hand them out," the Rockies said. 
 
 Some fans didn't bother with the game, usher Leon Thomas said. 
 
 "Many of the fans got here early. Took the shirt and left. They recognized it was a collector's item," he said. "There were only so many handed out. They were gone fast." 
 
 The Rockies said fans can exchange them for corrected jerseys at a September date to be announced.

 The Rockies said they discovered the misspelling at some point, but instead of disappointing those looking forward to receiving the jersey, the team said in a statement that it decided to hand them out anyway. 
 
 "Is there something wrong with it?" fan Jordan Deuschleman asked, according to the Associated Press. "I didn't notice with the name being so long." 
 
 The Rockies plan to remake the jersey with the correct spelling later in the year, and fans can exchange Saturday night's for the new one at the stadium or at one of the team stores. 
 
 Fans who exchange the jersey also will get a free ticket to a future 2014 or '15 game. 
 
 "Many of the fans got here early. Took the shirt and left. They recognized it was a collector's item," usher Leon Thomas told the AP. "There were only so many handed out. They were gone fast." 
 
 Tulowitzki entered Saturday night leading the National League in batting average (.340) and was third in the NL in home runs (21). 
 
 On Tuesday, he was put on the 15-day disabled list with a thigh injury.
– The Colorado Rockies love their All-Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki so much that at last night's game the team gave out 15,000 replica jerseys—emblazoned with his name spelled as Tulowizki. The rather large-scale typo was in fact noticed, the Rockies say, but they decided to go ahead with the giveaway anyway, reports ESPN; a new round of jerseys presumably stamped Tulowitzki will be given out in September and fans will be allowed to exchange the flubbed one. That is, if they want to: As one usher tells the AP, many "took the shirt and left. They recognized it was a collector's item. They were gone fast."
