Who was called the "The Human Eyeball?"

Who was "The Man Nobody Knows?"

[JL25and3]

Who was called the "The Human Eyeball?"

Bris Lord.

A completely incomprehensible nickname. I've found a source or two that say it was because of his high forehead, but that makes no sense either. Pictures of him don't make his forehead look all that preternaturally high...and besides, how does a high forehead make someone look like a Human Eyeball?

Just weird. His nickname should obviously been "The Mohel."

Well, I had to look this one up, because I'd never heard it before. It was Bill Dickey, who apparently got the name because of his scintillating personality.

Again, you are CORRECT!!

I never had heard of it either but I did meet him when he was a Yankee coach and he was really a nice guy.

Sounds like it should be a Clint Eastwood character in a spaghetti western.
