AN optical illusion gives baseball fans a second look at the beloved Major League Baseball logo.
The opticalillusionss Instagram account posted a photo of the MLB logo with the words “Does the hitter in the MLB logo hit right handed or left handed?”
“Do you see?” Read the caption of the post.
The logo features the silhouette of a batsman ready to hit a ball, however depending on how you look at it, the batsman can be either right-handed or left-handed.
The post garnered hundreds of comments with people explaining their answers.
“Batting left handed. Because of the grip on the bat,” one user wrote. Many agreed that the batsman was left-handed.
However, there were also several commenters who argued otherwise.
“Right looking over her left shoulder,” another person wrote.
Despite all the comments, it seems that no one can agree on what the answer is.
Some decided to make jokes instead of giving a proper answer.
“It’s a bird’s beak looking at a point,” one person wrote.
“Definitely delivered, that’s for sure,” wrote another.
One person gave some historical context for the logo when trying to find an answer: “The silhouette is meant to be based on Harmon Killebrew, who was right-handed. However, the designers made the decision to make the logo ambiguous, so it looks left-handed as well as right-handed. Technically, both answers are correct,” they wrote.
However, despite rumors that Killebrew is the player depicted in the logo, creator Jerry Dior has stated that the logo was not inspired by a specific player.
