Oops! Richardson wasn't a baseball draft pick

New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson backtracked on a story he's been telling for 40 years after a state newspaper uncovered the truth. Richardson, a pitcher in college, had claimed that he was drafted by the Kansas City Athletics.
Informed by the newspaper of its findings, the governor acknowledged the error in a story in Thursday's editions.

"After being notified of the situation and after researching the matter ... I came to the conclusion that I was not drafted by the A's," he said.
Does one forget being drafted by a major league baseball team?
