Experimental typography and the Orioles
Hilarious article about the backwards apostrophe in the Orioles' alternate caps.
The quotes from the grammar, typography, and uniform commentators are fantastic--it's tough to choose a favorite, but Paul Lukas gets a good last word (thanks to the Messecs, who still tolerate my jokes about Rafael Palmeiro).
The latter is on the "alternate cap" that's usually worn once or twice a week. It reads "O‘s," with the apostrophe flipped so the little round part - the "ball terminal," typographers tell me - is at the bottom instead of the top. It should be "O’s."
