There’s a reason every just calls No. 34 on the Mets “Thor.”

Noah Syndergaard is pretty tough to spell, just ask whoever was in charge of making the posters at the All-Star FanFest in San Diego. 

Quiz: How much do you know about MLB All-Star Game history?

On the bright side, the Mets’ broadcaster is called SNY, so hopefully they can find a way to capitalize on this. (Or perhaps they were behind it all along.)

Oh, and Jord isn’t actually his mom’s name. It’s Heidi, but Jord is Thor’s mother in Norse mythology. He’s really committed to the Thor bit.
