first and third at second base

referring to oneself in the third person has been joked about on shows such as "sports night" and "seinfeld," norm macdonald's bob dole impression relied on the third person for laughs... it's become a cliche of grammatical comedy. tony womack, new second baseman for the yankees, tried something a little different the other day during spring training, referring to his batting ninth instead of lead-off -- "as long as I'm playing, tony's happy." tony might just be a genius.
