*hit or go blind

We've probably all said it at one time or another but where did that phrase come from and why was it ever said? My mom just said it and when I asked her what it meant, she had no idea so I did a bit of net browsing. This is what I found.

The quote is attributed to:
Harvey Kuenn
I didn't know (after seeing a spectacular over-the-shoulder catch) whether to shit or go blind.

he was referring to this history making catch by Willie Mays in the 1954 World Series.

Just a bit of trivia that I thot you might enjoy.
