No, the firstbaseman has a dummy on his hand rather than a mit. He throws his voice for the first “thump” to get the close call. The second “thump” is the ball hitting the dummy in the mid section. The dummy wants to go back to a gig in Reno.
Thanks, J. Swinton II. As I’ve said elsewhere, everything I know about sports I’ve learned from Tank…either from the strip itself or from the comments.
no, bill and jeff, it isn’t any worse. (and he didn’t say “ha” he only claimed to have said that. he called “mine” very clearly, but then he’s been a cheater for years - in many ways.)

Apparently, the runner hit the first baseman’s mitt, and then the ball hit the first baseman. Nice work if you can get it. (NOT.)

And on another level, the dummy kinda looks like Tom Bodett…
