| It seems to me they give these ball players nowadays very peculiar names. |
You mean funny names?
|
|
Strange names, like Nomar Garciaparra. Let’s see, we have on the bags today, we got Jimmy Hu on first, Alvarez on second, and Gomez is on third...
|
|
Who’s on first?
|
Yes.
|
I mean the fellow’s name.
|
|
Hu.
|
The guy on first.
|
Hu. Asian guy.
|
|
The first baseman?
|
Hu.
|
The guy playing... ?
|
|
Hu is on first!
|
I’m asking you, "Who’s on first."
|
That’s the man’s name.
|
|
That’s whose name?
|
Yes!
|
Well, go ahead and tell me.
|
|
That’s it!
|
That’s who?
|
Yes.
|
|
Look: You gotta first baseman?
|
Certainly.
|
Who’s playing first?
|
|
That’s right.
|
When the first baseman gets paid every month, who gets the money?
|
Every dollar of it.
|
|
All I’m trying to find out is the fellow’s name on first base.
|
Hu.
|
The guy that gets...
|
That’s it.
|
Who gets the money...
|
He does, every dollar of it. Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it.
|
Whose wife?
|
Yes.
|
What’s the guy’s name on first base?
|
It’s not Alvarez. Alvarez is on second.
|
I’m not asking you who’s on second.
|
Hu’s on first.
|
I don’t know. Now who’s playing third base?
|
No, Hu’s on first, Gomez is on third.
|
[pause]
|
Who’s playing third base?
|
Why do you insist on putting Hu on third base?
|
What am I putting on third?
|
No. Alvarez is on second.
|
Huh?
|
What?
|
I don’t know.
|
Third base!
|
[pause]
|
Wait, scratch that, Gomez is on third base.
|
Look, you gotta outfield?
|
Sure.
|
The left fielder’s name?
|
Ramirez.
|
Who’s playing right field?
|
Hu’s playing first.
|
I want to know, what’s the guy’s name in right field?
|
Oh, that’s Phil Bullock.
|
Didn’t he use to play for the Mets?
|
No, you’re thinking of Hideki Idontnoe.
