There's a deep fly ball... Winfield goes back, back... his head hits the wall ... it's rolling towards second base.
The shortstop is a perfectly conditioned athlete. You're running out on relays all the time. You're covering second base. On every pitch, you're moving.
I've always loved the infield, because I came up as an infielder.
Larry Lintz steals second standing up. He slid, but he didn't have to.
I remember making the all-star team in Little League when I was around 11 years old. I was not a great athlete, but I loved it, so making starting second base in the all-star was great for me. I think someone must have been sick and they slotted me in.
They throw Winfield out at second, but he's safe.
I played baseball growing up, second base, and then when I got to high school, it just didn't exist there.
Winfield goes back to the wall. He hits his head on the wall and it rolls off! It's rolling all the way back to second base! This is a terrible thing for the Padres!
One time he (Cool Papa Bell) hit a line drive right past my ear. I turned around and saw the ball hit his ass sliding into second.
I see the game too slow from second base. That's why I like to play more short.
I think it's hard for someone to play short and then come back to second. It's not the same.
The call that always seemed the toughest to me was the slide and tag play at second. You can see it coming, but you don't know which way the runner is going to slide, where the throw is going to be, and how the fielder is going to take the throw.
The one thing is the more I play second base, the more I can work on the intricate movements of that position.
I love second base.
You have more time to make the play at second base than shortstop. That's why the game's more quick.
I'm not Yadier Molina behind the plate, but I can throw a ball to second on a rope.
I like it, but I think second base is too boring.
I used to play second base, leftfield and centerfield.
I played second base.
