Fans debate whether Keith Hernandez or McDowell was the spitter in the famous spitting incident, discussing the physics of how the spit reached Jerry if there was only one spitter.

Now, if McDowell was the SECOND spitter, doesn't that make Keith the first? What was there a third spitter? If McD acted alone, that would still be one magic loogie.

Leigh.

Part of the 'magic' that would be required if Keith was the spitter, was that the spit would have to 'turn' a corner. Since McDowell was the spitter, the tragectory can be explained by a ricochet off of Kramer's head.

Jerry was in fact wrong, there was no 'second spitter' only a lone spitter from behind the bush.
