The things you learn on NPR

[Dave Hause]

Not knowing squat from baseball, but this one strikes me as an unremarkable
quotation, unless one thinks it strange that a Dominican ball player would
know that the anatomic arm goes from the shoulder to the elbow, the forearm
from the elbow to the wrist.

Oops.  That was going to be "Joaquin Andújar" (if
the accent comes out) or "Joaquin Andujar" (if it
doesn't), not Andjar.  Besides the immortal
reference to "youneverknow" as his favorite word
in the English language, the Dominican-born
pitcher was almost equally eloquent on a number
of other occasions...
