Patchez Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Don't peek, Don't Cheat...Quick Poll, is the batter on the MLB logo batting lefty or righty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'd say you cannot tell. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

leopard88 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'd say you cannot tell.That wasn't one of the options -- even though it is probably true.If I must choose, I'll vote righty out of my natural bias that way (i.e., That I bat righthanded. On political right vs. left, I lean a little left.).

BelfourThibault Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hard to tell, but judging by his hands, I'd say he's a lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynomind Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I say righty, cause why would we be looking at his back? NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!

leopard88 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I say righty, cause why would we be looking at his back? If he's batting righty, we ARE looking at his back.

TheLoadedRightArmofGod Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Wasn't the logo patterned after Killebrew, who batted righty?My guess is left-handed though. Something about the knunkles and elbow doesn't make sense if it's of the back of a righty... Thanks to OB33 for the Tecmo Bowl sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtex Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Whether lefty or righty, I have one problem with the MLB logo,either:a ) he has a horrible stanceorb ) he's swinging too late at a high fastball and is going to strike out and lose the world series...

A) He's got a wonderful stance. Just look at that perfect trigger position. He's not swinging. He's wisely watching a fastball cross the strike zone at his shoulders for a ball. No umpire in the world calls that pitch a strike. Way to make the pitcher work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1266 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Actually is was modeled after Harmon Killebrew... not Pete Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 The logo was purposely set up to look like it's either a lefty or righty.Granted, the logo is of Harmon Killebrew, who is a righty. Still, the silhouette effect is to make it look either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I'd like to agree with you, it's not. It's Killebrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect Zero Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Ah, Harmon Killebrew, my favorite player of baseball ever. When kids would choose to be Ruth or Rose, I chose to be Killebrew. I say the logo dosen't look anything like him, but to each his own.BTW, if generic, he's a righty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
