Makes sense, I can flip it pretty easily in my mind so I can see it both ways.

It's whatever your brain wants to see. I'm sure that was done on purpose.

I always viewed it as a righty and did, at first, think you was retarded LOL.

I basically had to force myself to see it as a lefty. Then I was like, I'll be damned, it works either way.

The Man Behind the MLB Logo

LINK

quote:

Mr. Siegel recalls that he tweaked an action photograph of Jerry West, the Los Angeles Lakers' Hall of Fame guard, for the figure in the NBA logo. By contrast, Mr. Dior maintains that the player in the baseball logo is "pure design."

His son once heard a radio broadcaster say that Minnesota Twins slugger Harmon Killebrew served as his model for the logo. Mr. Dior's response: "That's completely untrue. It's not Harmon Killebrew. It's not anyone in particular."

It's a lefty cuz the ball is high. You pitch high to lefties cuz they are low ball hitters. Righties can crush a high fastball.

I lie.

I do think it's a lefty though.
