Topic: Left field


  
  Left fielder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Left field is the area of the outfield to the left of a person standing at home plate and facing towards the pitcher's mound.
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, who are much more common, tend to "pull" the ball into left field.
Because many early ballparks featured spacious territory in left field, with outfield fences particularly distant from home plate in order to prevent easy home runs, the phrase "out of left field" has come to be used in popular vernacular to describe any idea which seems wildly unrelated to the subject being discussed.

 Boston Red Sox - Ramirez is the man once again in left field - The Boston Globe
SEATTLE -- Shortly after Terry Francona had announced that yes, indeed, Manny Ramirez was back in the Red Sox lineup, playing left field and batting cleanup, Ramirez went into the manager's office, the door closing behind him.
Nine days after making his last start in left field for the Sox, a blowout in which Francona had substituted liberally but left Ramirez in for nine innings, an exercise that left Ramirez coming to the manager the next day complaining of tight hamstrings, he was back in his rightful place.
Then he cheerily acknowledged that after being checked out by one of the Sox doctors, Joseph Chase, Sunday, he felt he was able to go, something he hadn't done in the field since exactly a week ago, when he started in left field for the American League All-Stars in Houston and played three innings.
