The Twisker Pitcher (1937)

Someone once said that "There's no crying in baseball . . . "

. . . but as THE TWISKER PITCHER illustrates, there's sure a lot of cheating. Both "Popeye" and "Bluto" try to augment their Power on the Diamond through the blatant use of PEV's (Performance Enhancing Vegetables). While the latter is content to steal Popeye's stash and consume it in full view of the fans, the self-styled "Sailor Man" labors to replace his lost crutch by cultivating REEFER MADNESS right in the middle of the playing field! (Anyone having the least bit of familiarity with Horticulture 101 will note that Popeye's cash crop resembles "Mary Jane" far most closely than spinach!) With Popeye's Pirates besting Bluto's Bears by a walk-off tally of 22-21, their game resembles our Modern Era far more than it does its 1930s setting. (So far the 2019 MLB season is on pace for cumulative records for BOTH most strike outs AND most home runs; ALL the TWISKER PITCHER scoring is via the long ball, and all of the outs appear to be whiffs.) The cat fight in the stands between "Olive" and Bluto's Sumo Wrestler Distaff Supporter is another TWISKER PICTURE highlight nearly as interesting as the play on the field. Now is the perfect time to enjoy THE TWISKER PITCHER.
