I have played every position on the diamond...except catcher, in the last year. Hope to do the same this year.

P and SS in Little League
C and 3B in HS
1B and C in Legion

Converted to Lacrosse and Rugby in college because I couldn't hit a curve anymore. :(

Funny how you know you're career is winding down when you end up at 1B!!! Third base was my favorite position to play, ironically followed by the other corner across the diamond. My favorite memory of 3B was long after my playing days ended, in a summer softball league in Central Park. We were playing against MLB Productions. They were decked out the in the best uniforms in the league, for obvious reasons, but they backed it up by playing great ball. They peppered me all day at the hot corner, didn't pick everything cleanly, but had a blast trying... felt like Nettles in the '78 WS!!!

Ah the horror. Don't bring up the '78 Series. I was 9 and went to two games. Had my heart broken by Nettles, Bucky F'in Dent and especially Reg.

Played Catcher in Little League. Then in my last year - I was sick of donning the gear and wanted to play Centerfield. My father dispised the move and reluctantly put me in CF.

Then after Little League - I took a year off. A year later - came back and played all of the OF positions (still sick of catching). My arm took a beating making the long throws from the outfield compared to the Little League dimensions. I am only 5'6" - not a strong enough arm for the OF.

At this point in my life - my two biggest regrets:

1. Taking that year off of baseball.
2. I should have listened to my father and continued to play the C position.

It's been a really, really long time, but I played first base and right field in my youth. Last played the game about 20 years ago as a member of the Marvel Entertainment softball team at first base.
