Playing left field Bugs Bunny, pitcher Bugs Bunny, second base Bugs Bunny . . .

This is some of the cleverest, dry humor writing that I have ever read.

Absolutely brilliant.

We've all seen the 1946 cartoon "Baseball Bugs" about a gajillion times over the years, but this post takes it to a new level of "scholarly" discussion

It's a bit of a long read, but stick with it, or come back to it when you have more time.

Among the troubling questions addressed by the author are:

1. Why would a team of extremely strong, young men play a game against a team of extremely old, weak men?

2. Why would over fifty thousand people attend such a game?
