	Baseball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baseball is a team sport, in which a fist-sized ball is thrown by a defensive player called a pitcher and hit by an offensive player called a batter with a round, smooth stick called a bat.
		Baseball positioning The team in the field is the defensive team; they attempt to prevent the team at bat from scoring.
		Although baseball is considered a non-contact sport; a runner may be allowed to make potentially dangerous contact with a fielder as part of an attempt to reach a base, unless that fielder is fielding a batted ball.

	Baseball
		Baseball is thought to be a direct descendant of cricket, rounders, and town ball, though the game's origins are uncertain.
		In its usual form, the game of baseball is played between two teams of nine players at a time on a playing field consisting of four bases, arranged in a diagonal square ("the diamond") and a large outfield extending from two adjacent sides of the diamond.
		The center fielder has more territory to cover than the other two outfielders, so he must be very fast and agile, and must have a strong arm to throw balls in to the infield; as a result, teams tend to emphasize defense at that position.

		Baseball is a team sport in which a fist-sized ball is thrown and hit with a bat.
		The remaining seven fielders may be positioned anywhere in fair territory, but the standard defensive alignment places four infielders at the edge of the infield and three outfielders in the outfield.
		A series of strikes and lockouts began in baseball, affecting portions of the 1972 and 1981 seasons and culminating in the infamous strike of 1994 that led to the cancellation of the World Series.

	Sports Rules - Baseball
		Baseball as a game is essentially very similar to Softball, and to a lesser extent, Rounders.
		The fielders on the bases will try and retrieve the ball and make contact with the base before the runner (who was the batter) gets there.
		If a fielder makes a tag and throws the ball to another fielder in time for them to make a tag also, then it would be called a double play or triple play depending on whether two or three players are put out in one go.

	Baseball Umpire Helper
		After a fielder has made an attempt to field a ball and missed, he can no longer be in the "act of fielding" the ball.
		If a runner must slow down or alter his path to avoid a fielder who is not in possession of the ball or in the act of fielding, he has been obstructed.
		He is obstructed by a fielder between second and third as the throw from the outfield is heading toward third.

	Major League Baseball : Official Info : Official Rules
		If the fielder or catcher, after having made a legal catch, should fall into a stand or among spectators or into the dugout after making a legal catch, or fall while in the dugout after making a legal catch, the ball is dead and runners advance one base without liability to be put out.
		Under (c e) this penalty shall not be invoked against a fielder whose glove is carried off his hand by the force of a batted or thrown ball, or when his glove flies off his hand as he makes an obvious effort to make a legitimate catch.
		"Obstruction" by a fielder attempting to field a ball should be called only in very flagrant and violent cases because the rules give him the right of way, but of course such "right of way" is not a license to, for example, intentionally trip a runner even though fielding the ball.

	Bambooweb: Left fielder
		A left fielder, abbreviated LF, is an outfielder in the sport of baseball who plays defense in left field.
		Of all outfielders, the left fielder often will have the weakest arm, as they generally do not need to throw the ball as far in order to prevent the advance of any baserunners.
		The left fielder still requires good fielding and catching skills, and tends to receive more balls than the right fielder due to the fact that right-handed hitters, which are much more common, tend to "pull" the ball into left field.

	Diamond Mind Baseball
		Baseball analysts, ourselves included, have made many attempts to devise methods that deal with some of these other factors so that we can isolate the contribution the player is making.
		And suppose one center fielder reaches a ball but muffs it for a one-base error, while another lets it go up the gap for a double -- the guy who reached the ball has.20 fielding runs deducted and the second guy isn't penalized at all.
		That means that someone playing next to a weak fielder tends to look worse than he is, because if the other guy makes the play, there is no opportunity charged, but if the ball falls in, it costs him a half of one.

	Baseball Coaching: Outfield Communication
		When the ball is in the air the center fielder has authority over every other fielder on the field with the left and right fielders next.
		If you're the left fielder and you're running towards the ball in the left field gap, you want to make sure you make a call for the ball as soon as you're comfortable that you can make an easy catch.
		If on the other hand he gets a confirmation back from the center fielder, "You got it" or "Yours", then he can be confident that he is going to field the ball without risk of colliding with the center fielder.

	Prince Fielder - Fantasy Baseball Cafe 2003
		Yes, much of the press Prince Fielder has received so far in his fledgling minor league career has been due to the fact that he’s Cecil Fielder’s son.
		The comparisons between Fielder and his father, who won home run titles in 1990 and 1991 are inevitable.
		Like all prospects playing A ball, Fielder is no sure thing, and he probably won’t see action in the majors before 2005.
