Has Passan ever seen an NBA trade?

[UMFan83]

The new “what color is the dress?”

 

[cl smooth]

lefty due to the right foot planted on the ground.

I see the left foot planted

[Transmogrified Tiger]

It could be either, my mind went to a lefty first. Probably because if it's a lefty you're seeing their face, and if it's a righty you are seeing the back of their head.

[weis21]

Since it’s a logo i just imagine it from the perspective of “if you could see the face you would”. So, southpaw for me.

[Andy]

This might be the first one of these things in which I can really see either one. My first instinct was lefty.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

It's clearly Pat Venditte.

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

If we can't see his face, he might have a broken neck. Easily lefty.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If it's a righty, he's wearing his glove backwards.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

This article makes the argument that shifting is not actually helpful and may actually be hurting teams.

If it's a righty, he's wearing his glove backwards.

 

That’s what I used to go with lefty.

I'm surprised to hear he still goes to Marlins games. I only see him everywhere else.

[Clem Fandango]

Also what the hell was he paying for during the several years in between firesales?

"We're an American-Irish pub," Trumpey said. "It's our heritage. It's something we hold dear. I like to think it makes us a little bit different."

 

The menu features a wide variety of food that includes pizza, ribs, burgers and more, but traditional Irish whiskeys and fare, such as fish and chips or shepherd's pie. Even the name "Tom Kelly" is very Irish, but the truth is that it's a combination of Rowan's and Trumpey's first names.

"We tried every Irish name in the book until a friend suggested combining our names," she said. "A lot of people think there is a Tom Kelly's."
