For years, Dick Vitale made a joke out of his bad left eye, the one he couldn't see out of because of an accident when he was a small child.
He lost the vision in the eye after it was poked by a pencil.
So when the ESPN basketball analyst wanted to make a point about something that had happened in a game, he would say something along the lines of 'Hey, I've only got one good eye and I can see that!''
But for many years, Vitale's eye was not a joke.
