• "The Catcher" shows a blind Chicago White Sox Catcher catching the ball, with his 2 eyes gone. During his popularity in the late 50's, he proved to be the best catcher in baseball, but no one knew the secret of his success. Though he was born with no eyes in his head, he was born with several heads in his body below his head, with 2 eyes in each head. This gave him the advantage of seeing the direction of the balls being pitched to the Batter standing in front of him. • The Catcher was supposed to catch the ball if the Batter failed to hit the ball. To this day, no one knows his secret except me. Reading this art description, and reporting the Catcher's unusual superiority to the baseball commissioner can cause the Chicago White Sox to be stripped of the World Series Championship Title they won in 1959, mainly because of the catcher's performance against the team I think was the LA Dodgers, or Brooklyn Dodgers. • Frankly, I don't even remember being born yet at the time. All I know is that exactly 9 months after the final game of the World Series, there were less people born in the world. And you know why. • With less people alive, less spending occurs, and that's not good for employment and the economy, and certainly not also good for ToysRUs. • And I'm sure that you, yourself were not born 9 months after the White Sox won the Series. In case you were, wouldn't it be because your dad was thinking of Marilyn Monroe that night and not Joe DiMaggio? Or was your mom the one thinking of DiMaggio? • Did you get the humor?
