Ad prematurely calls series for Phillies

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3 (UPI) --

The Philadelphia Inquirer apologized for running a Macy's ad that prematurely declared the Phillies this year's World Series champs.

The three-quarter page ad congratulates the Phillies, who are headed back to New York after Monday's 8-6 win over the Yankees, on becoming "Back To Back World Series Champions," WTOP.com reported Tuesday.

The newspaper apologized for the mistake.
