Am I the only one whose mind was bent by this optical illusion??

When I was a wee lad looking at the famous 1975 Topps MVP cards, every time I glanced at the 1967 version, my brain just assumed Orlando Cepeda was a catcher. The back of the police officer combined with the black signature leading into the red 8, seemed to be the makings of a chest protector to my young eyes. Hat orientation aside, it was as if he unsuccessfully chased a foul pop up into the stands and the photog snapped a picture.

I have never looked at this card and NOT seen that...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
