Wrong name for New York team in news story

I'm doing a historic replay. In 1914, the Philadelphia A's have beaten the New York Giants 4 games to 2.

Quote:

Friday, October 16th, 1914: Philadelphia Athletics Take American Baseball Championship
You could hear the cheering all over Philadelphia as the Athletics secured the final out of a 5-4 win over the New York Giants to capture the 1914 Major League Baseball American Baseball Championship 4-2. It was the 2nd time in the team's history to win it.

"The Mets are a good ballclub," said the winning skipper, "We had to play at our best to beat them."

"Anytime you make big plays, it changes the momentum of the game," the losing manager said. "The Athletics made 'em and we didn't -- end of story."

During the season the new champs compiled a 114-40 record in the American American and finished in first place in the standings.

Notice the bolded portion of the quote for the A's manager. He says Mets and not the Giants.

I believe this has been found and fixed already. I know one of the text people said they went through and removed the messages that had the Mets in them like this.
