Zitat des Tages über Außenfeld / Outfield:
You can't win if nobody catches the ball in the outfield. You're only as good as the team you have behind you.
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.
Gee, its lonesome in the outfield. It's hard to keep awake with nothing to do.
I had a bilateral lisp, and I was overweight. I was the kid who played with the flowers on the ground in the outfield during baseball. I was that kid.
Younger audiences are into me because I did 'Stuart Little,' and that movie was a very big deal for kids. And in 'Angels in the Outfield,' a generation of kids learned about magic and angels. And then, of course, there are these two blond girls named Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and I played their nanny on their TV show.
Outfield to infield is the most jarring because in the outfield, you have much more time to throw.
I'll win more games playing everyday in the outfield than I will pitching every fourth day.
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.
I pitched and I played the outfield.
The outfield is solid, so is the catching and the infield.
The secret of my success was clean living and a fast outfield.
I loved running. I can catch everything in the outfield. I could throw people out from the fence.
I was a good fielder in the gully in my college days. But in the outfield, I was not such a good fielder.
Because I could throw so hard when I got to college, they made me a pitcher. If I had to it all over again, I would have stuck to playing in the outfield. I loved running. I can catch everything in the outfield. I could throw people out from the fence.
Switching to the outfield was the best break I ever got.
I've won plenty of games by knowing when to take out my pitcher; whom to replace him with; or how to place my infield or outfield to defend properly against the opposing hitter.
The reason we had an all-black outfield in '51 is Don Mueller got hurt, so Hank Thompson was a legitimate replacement. So what? People talk about, 'You're the first to do this. You're the first to do that.' Don't dwell on race all the time.
I played outfield in high school a little bit.
