#outfield

I am a lefty, though I bat right-handed... When I was a kid I pitched, played first, outfield and shortstop as well. Now it's mainly softball with some friends. ↗

The phrase 'off with the crack of the bat', while romantic, is really meaningless, since the outfielder should be in motion long before he hears the sound of the ball meeting the bat. ↗

I was nicknamed Skeeter in Little League because I was small and fast, like a mosquito flying across the outfield. ↗

Carl Yastrzemski was the best all-around player. He could run, throw and hit. He had the ability to play a number of different positions. He signed as a shortstop. He could play the outfield, of course, and third base and first, too. He was a tremendous athlete. Mickey Mantle was unbelievable, too. ↗

One reason outfielders don't have stronger arms might be they don't practice as much as we did. Most teams today don't take outfield practice. Another reason is baseball has to compete with other sports now - basketball, football, soccer - for the better athletes that might have more skills and stronger arms. ↗

Gee, its lonesome in the outfield. It's hard to keep awake with nothing to do. ↗

The outfield is solid, so is the catching and the infield. ↗

I'll win more games playing everyday in the outfield than I will pitching every fourth day. ↗

I loved running. I can catch everything in the outfield. I could throw people out from the fence. ↗
