I don't understand the Far Side calendar for Wednesday, Oct. 28. On a
shelf there are three pickle-jar type things (like lab specimens)
and the caption is "Broca's brain, appendix, and baseball glove"
I guess Broca must be someone or some piece of culture that I
skipped over in my life.
Thanks in advance for the clue.

There was also a baseball player, Johnny Broaca (spelling is close, not exact), that was an American professional baseball pitcher from 1934 to 1939. Broaca won at least 12 games for the New York Yankees his first three seasons. However, in 1937, Broaca
took a leave of absence for no apparent reason and only pitched in 7 games. Could the baseball glove be a reference to him?
