    That is squiggles the capybara, one of the worst baseball players of all time and the cause of the “there IS a rule that says capybaras can’t play baseball” rule. The photo is taken at Bill’s baseball hole and cocainiary in what was then Frobisher Bay in Canada’s Northwest Territories. Fun fact: it was the largest Inuit crowd to ever attend a baseball game. Alas, the cocainiary did not last as the eponymous Bill set it ablaze one fateful evening in the year of our dark lord, 1812, not for the insurance money but because of “all of the talking spiders”.
