Big Apple DOT officials botched a Queens road sign for the Jackie Robinson Parkway, misspelling the color-barrier-busting baseball Hall of Famer’s name.

“It’s embarrassing,” Glendale native Kira Incantalupo told The Post on Sunday. “Poor Jackie Robinson.

This reminds me of when my one-time hometown of Lauderhill, Florida honored James Earl Jones on the 2002 MLK Day but made the plaque out to James Earl Ray.
