What's your favorite position?

In baseball, get your minds out of the gutter. Or softball.

What have you played, what would you play if one day you woke up and found yourself on the field of dreams?

Me? I like putting on the tools of ignorance.

1. ok

When I was younger I pitched, play 3rd base, 1st base, and outfield.
I would love to pitch again but lol if I could do anything heh on the field of dreams it would be at shortstop heh, consider the irony in that I am a lefty thrower.

3. First base! I'm 6' 5", so I've got the stretch...

I also run slower than a mule in winter, so I can do less damage to my own team as primary-sacker.

Although I'm right-handed (a bit of a minus at first), I anticipate the ball well. Playing first keeps your head in the game, too.

Plus, when the inning's over, you're close to home!

5. I've played every position but 'catcher'...

And yes; my mind is out of the gutter therefore that is not a gay statement...per se.

'short stop' is fun; plenty busy though; got to stay awake. 'left & center field' fun playing with the vectors, spatial relativity, waiting for something to happen and such. 'pitching' is OK but not all it's cracked up to be in my opinion ~

7. I've played'em all ...

including catcher. And that's some feat for a lefty.

Granted my play on the left side of the infield came in D league softball.
