Get To Know Your Newest Dodger


Sure, we think we know all about Jason Schmidt from watching him pitch for the Giants, but I think this penetrating cartoon provides a unique insight.

That's "Senor Gagne" to you, mister.

Steve Mond has helpfully come through with a translation, courtesy of Jin-Ha Kim, one of his high-school algebra students:

Panel 1: the manager says that Schmidt did a good job.
Panel 2: the manager asks Schmidt to pitch one more time, and Schmidt says he'll need to change clothes.
Panel 3: the manager thanks him
Panel 4: Locker Room
Panel 5: Schmidt says he's hot because of the shirt he's wearing under his uniform.
Panel 6: Schmidt declares his intention to change clothes.
Panel 7: Schmidt finds a new head which will give him more power. (Jin-Ha explained this as a typical occurrence in Korean cartoons.)
Panel 8: We're not sure exactly what's happening.
Panel 9: The outfielder is declaring that he's a new person.

Ummmm, so there you have it. I guess.
