The homunculus being dipped is obviously a baseball player; and the baseball image on the apron reinforces the reference. The surname “Swift” calls to mind Bill Swift. I believe that he retired about 2 years ago. For more, type his name into your search engine. Cheers.
I was trying to say, I think rather too obliquely, that the only Swift on the Mariners that I could Google up was a pitcher… not a batter…the long retired Bill Swift.
Mrs Swift is either dipping or adding Mariners batters.
So…. either I’m missing something, which I usually am, when it comes to sports info…or her name is immaterial…or…. this is a looooong stretch….Take yer pick.

Alexi…sorry, but it’s not about marinAra…Mrs. Swift is making MarinERa…
Bruno… I’m guessing you mean you didn’t “know” batters got dipped in Marinera…and neither did I….
And the only Swift I can find on the innerwebs came in a pitcher…. and got out quite a few years ago.
Can any of you sports fans cook something up?

Actually, Jr, I think you’ve got it. That kind of joke is called a Tom Swiftie.

The Mariners have to do something to add “sauce” to their lineup, this couldn’t hurt.
