Default Giant Mouse-Man in 1950 Bowman Larry Doby??

So, my family humors me to help me decide which card for each HOFer to add to my collection display.

So tonight, when I sent the 1950 Bowman Larry Doby around for consideration, my brother in law pointed out that there is a giant mouse-man (or bunny??) in the front row behind the dugout!

What the actual #%$& is THIS all about?? Am guessing more experienced collectors of that set know the back story... do tell, please!!

Check it out...

What about the big blue blob guy on the other side? Looks like a bird-man to me.

I suspect it actually isn't what it appears to be. Here's an attempt at a closeup photo.

"That was my dear late husband, Harold. He was climbing the Sherwin-Williams ladder in those days, so he probably scored the tix
from one of the higher-ups. We buried him with a "Let's Go Tribe!" pennant on his chest. A big fan that sweet man was."

Ok, ok! I can see where this is going...

I just thought there might have been some kind of inside joke bu the artist who created this card (which is KILLER nice, btw!)

(Sure looks like a mouse to me! Nobody sees this?! Oh well... I’ll stand down now!)
