I'm a Major League 3rd Baseman. If you want to go play in parking lot, I'm suppose to stop the ball. -- Brooks Robinson
God watches over drunks and third baseman. -- Leo Durocher
I played baseball as a left-handed first baseman, though never as well as I did quarterbacking. -- Bob Sheppard
Pop flies, in a sense, are just a diversion for a second baseman. Grounders are his stock trade. -- Jackie Robinson
I took a huge risk leaving baseball, because I was predicted to play in the big leagues. I'm kind of a prototypical second baseman. -- Russell Wilson
When I throw a softball, there's no time to think about the motion of my arm. I just look at the first baseman's glove and react. -- Keegan Bradley
I made the varsity team as a freshman at 15. Then, I tore a tendon and never fully recovered. I was a shortstop, then third baseman, then second baseman. -- Peter Scolari
Your goal as a hitter is to get on. And if the third baseman is playing back and letting you lay down a bunt, I don't have a problem with that, even if it's late in a no-hitter. -- Bert Blyleven
I played from the time I was seven years old. My father was my first baseman coach. I had opportunities that I never really pursued - with some Miami teams and a few larger colleges, and then I ended up bailing and began cooking. -- Todd English
I was trying to land an 18-year-old strapping first baseman from Blanco, Texas, population 200. His name was Willie Upshaw. It turned out there were only three scouts who knew about Willie - Dave Yocum and I working for the Yankees, and Al LaMacchia from the Atlanta Braves. -- Pat Gillick
The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault. -- Ty Cobb
I used to soak my mitts in a bucket of water for about two days. Then I'd put a couple of baseballs in the pocket and wrap it up with a rubber band. Today you don't have to do that, because catchers' mitts are more like first baseman's gloves. -- Bob Uecker
There was a time when rival teams used a shift against me. They would put the second baseman on the shortstop's side of the bag, move the shortstop into the hole to his right, and have the third baseman hug the foul line. The idea was to build an infield wall against a known right-handed pull hitter. -- Harmon Killebrew
For several years, I have had my eye on second baseman Del Pratt of St. Louis. I cannot say that he is a better player than our own Joe Gedeon, but he has played better ball, and we wanted him. Well, how did I get him? I paid $15,000 in cash and gave away a number of good players for him. But what can you do? -- Jacob Ruppert
The name 'Chuck Jones', according to my uncle, limited my choice of profession to second baseman or cartoonist. -- Chuck Jones
As a first baseman, hitting home runs is what's expected of me. But I don't really try to hit home runs. -- Derrek Lee
If I have to win one game, I'd have a hard time taking anybody over Dustin Pedroia as my second baseman. -- Mariano Rivera
What is the top requirement for a second baseman? A fine shortstop. I am fortunate in having the greatest shortstop in baseball, Luis Aparicio. -- Nellie Fox
I'm just a beat up old third baseman. I'm just a small part of a wonderful game that is a tremendous part of America today. -- Eddie Mathews
