19th Hole: The Readers Take Over

TROUBLE AT HOME
Sir:
I haven't been to Comiskey Park in several years, so perhaps you can help me. Is home plate there really backward, as depicted in the White Sox poster of Ken Harrelson displayed on page 74 of your Jan. 20 issue?

?When artist Joe VanSeveren's caricature of the Hawk came in to the White Sox ad agency, it was discovered to be too short for the season-ticket brochure it was designed for. That's when the people at the agency mistakenly added the reversed plate. "It was just to see who was paying attention," deadpanned an agency spokesman when asked last week.—ED.
