Multiple Emmy-winning and double Oscar-nominated Oscar was able to get the consummate dig at an empire. His right eye was surgically removed when he was three years old because of retinoblastoma. Despite this, he participated in sports, especially baseball and basketball. According to Falk, "I remember once in high school the umpire called me out at third base when I was sure I was safe. I got so mad I took out my glass eye, handed it to him and said, 'Try this.' I got such a laugh you wouldn't believe."
Given the problems in depth perception that is caused by losing an eye, it is amazing that he was able to play baseball at all.
