    Looks like Granger has a GoPro mounted on his catcher’s mask

    Pels and Dafne are destined for Spring love with the same, ahem, hairdos. How is it a rally in the top of the 1st inning? Is GilPa wearing those goofy long coach pants or 1970’s coach shorts? Looks like the starting pitcher was sent to the showers.

    Has one of the alien spaceships landed on the catcher’s head in that last panel?

    okay a giant suction cup from an alien is coming after Pelwicki in panel one too. Looks like today is finally the day for ‘le-envasion’ to commence.

    Wait a minute. Yesterday they were playing against Wellington. Today they’re playing against Ellington. Yes, I realize Dukes are involved with both names, but what’s going on?

    And who won the track meet that suddenly broke out yesterday?

    Do the writers not know baseball terms? A rally indicates the team has come back. You don’t have a rally in the 1st inning.

    Rally caps on in the first inning!

    I hope he lets the runner knows he sees him by doing that point to the eyes and then to the person thing.

    So now it’s Ellington? They must be playing the Wellington Ellingtons.

    At least we have a reasonable-looking baseball swing being drawn today. And Gil has the team playing against the combined Ellington/Wellington squad so he can sell more of those GIL mugs out of the trunk of his car ( the Bentley GT) to the overflow crowd.

    The infielder in P2 needs to break in that glove. It looks like a paddle.

    What a bizarre game! They start out playing baseball, a track meet breaks out, and today the opponents are practicing their chipping. Tomorrow should have a reference to diving or swimming. We already had a tennis reference at the soda shop (Love all).

    Wow, Pelweckie knocked the cover and several layers off of that ball compared to the one in P2. And that fielder is really going to look foolish when that ball bounces past him the other way after it hits the border between frames.

    Nice to see Gil wrapping up this season’s coaching on opening day. Watch the runner. Gotta go.

    Just thought of this one. 25 bonus points to the first one who knows what 60’s show the Wellington’s sang the theme song for without looking it up.
