[edit] Fielding positions

67.35.253.89 has added "There are 10 (previously 9) fielding positions... each position has an associated number (from 1 to 9)". --- Why 10? Ojw 12:02, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I have no idea, unless someone somehow thought that DH was a fielding position. I changed it back to 9.Kevin M Marshall 13:16, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)


Why is third numbered five instead of six? If you follow the progression third should be number six, and short number five, this would lead to more continuity in how the bases are represented. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.91.19.130 (talk) 01:53, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup Batter?

I have no idea why someone thought this was a "baseball position". It should be deleted. T. Wong 03:14, 1 March 2006 (UTC) Some softball games have 4 outfielders.

It says "-holden usherwood" at the end of the Roles of infielders section. Was that section taken from somewhere, or is there a poorly cited and unnecessary quote, or is someone trying to claim credit for their own work? --ADoS 71.192.64.235 03:16, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
