Hand part of the bat?

[Rich Ives]

This all reminds me of a tale once told about a clinic given by a major league ump.


Q: What do you call if the pitch hits both the hands and the bat and you can't tell which one it hit first?

A: It hit the hands first.

Q: No, I mean what if you can't tell if it hit the bat or the hands first?

A: It hit his F%&(^$# hands first!
