Default You'd think the Hall of Fame would get it right

This week I picked up a Hall of Fame induction bat for the Class of 1937, which included Lajoie. Looking at the scan from the eBay ad, it looked like Lajoie's first name was misspelled, but I couldn't tell for sure. Now that I have the bat in hand, the spelling definitely is "Napolion."

I've seen misspelled names of World Series black bats -- most often players who aren't under contract with Louisville SLugger -- but I'd have thought for the Hall of Fame induction class, the quality control would be a little better.
