Yes, he's Taiwanese. But there really is a major league pitcher, for the Detroit Tigers, named "Ni".

Will he also change his name?
to “Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG. Zoom-Boing. Z’nourrwringmm” of course.. :)

"Ni" is the pinyin (phoenetic, kind of)
spelling of the Mandarin word for “you”.
So, if someone calls him, “Hey, You!”, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they forgot his name.

He will eventually be a Cub.
There’s plenty of shrubbery in Wrigley Field.

I would steer clear of him.....
because his mother was a hamster, and his father smelt of elderberries!

Not at all, they could be carried.

What? A swallow carrying a coconut?

It could grip it by the husk.

It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

It could be carried by an African swallow.

Oh yeah, an African swallow, maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point.

But then of course African swallows are not migratory.

For a moment I thought you were going to name
the head of the Ministry of Silly Walks

Well, if he doesn't have good control/command, he could qualify.

Maybe Roger the shrubber could help the Cubs on their quest for the Holy Grail-looks like he bats righty
