Considering the man in this picture is just wearing a Yankees t-shit, I thought that maybe someone bumped into the photographer, resulting in a casual fan appearing in Mr. Mohorcic’s place. This, however, is not the case. Two amazing stories about Mr. Mohorcic from Wikipedia (though neither explain the t-shirt wearing):
1) In a 1987 game against the Milwaukee Brewers, Mohorcic was accused of doctoring the baseball. Umpires found no evidence of wrongdoing at the time, but after the game Mohorcic complained of a sore throat, and was admitted to a hospital where it was discovered that he was suffering internal bleeding as a result of having Crohn’s disease and taking the pain reliever naproxen. It was erroneously reported by Peter Gammons that Mohorcic’s bleeding was caused by swallowing sandpaper.
2) Mohorcic played the part of Angels starting pitcher Dave Spiewak in the 1988 movie The Naked Gun.

Those of us watching the Yankees-Red Sox game on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball this past weekend were treated to a vintage Joe Morgan moment. Following A-Rod’s home run off of Jon Lester in the seventh(?) inning, the guys in the booth were discussing the pitch that Lester made, which was really his first mistake of the game, as he had held the Yankees scoreless to that point. Cue Mr. Morgan:
“You can’t pitch a perfect game. No one can.” (Awkward silence) “Except Don Larsen.”
And a bunch of other guys. It’s weird that he used Larsen as his example, when Mark Buehrle pitched a perfect game three weeks ago.

Either this a piece of sarcasm and satire so magnificent that I don’t get it…or the most ridiculous idea in the history of sports journalism. If you have a moderate understanding of the game of baseball, and high blood pressure, turn back now. Otherwise, buckle up…
