by

Popular Irish legend maintains that one can find — at the end of a rainbow — one can find a pot of gold guarded by a leprechaun.

Bulgarian legend, meanwhile, proposes that anyone walking under a rainbow will experience a change in gender. Common sense, really.

Meanwhile, during the second inning of Tuesday night’s FSN broadcast of the Mets-Dodgers game (box), potentially real, but probably mythical, broadcaster Vin Scully cited FanGraphs.

Evidence of same:

Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.

Transcript:

“I would tell you about the game, but Carson Cistulli is such a distractingly handsome man, I can’t. Carson works for Fangraphs as part of the parole-to-performance program, where handsome parolees with thesauruses – thesauri? – write things down and get paid money for reasons not entirely clear to the casual observer.

“But it’s probably because Carson is part of the reason I, Vin Scully, will now mention Fangraphs and gleefullize all associated with it.”
