	Second baseman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Also called 2B, or second bagger, the second baseman often possesses quick hands and feet, needs the ability to get rid of the ball quickly, and must be able to make the pivot on a double play.
		Second basemen must be quick on their feet to hold the runner on base, back up the shortstop on all throws from the catcher, cover first base on bunted balls, and to field the position to either side.
		In fact, second basemen are required to have the greatest range of any infielder, since they have to field balls closer to the first baseman who is often holding runners on, or moving towards the base to cover.

		With the Pirates on their way to a tie for the cellar in 1957, Bragan was replaced by the more patient Danny Murtaugh, who gave his young talent a chance to mature.

		Using a crystal of some even multiple of 2 is desirable so that one stage of the counter automatically toggles every second which eliminates the need for the NAND gate and reset circuitry, however the circuit below illustrates using a crystal which is not an even multiple of 2 and so requires additional components.

	India to set up second Antarctican base - Deccan Herald (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		As the leader of the 23rd Indian expedition to Antarctica, Dr Jayram will have to identify the site for India’s second permanent base in the icy continent that will act as a hub for a series of experiments to find out the actual speed in which the Indian landmass is moving northwards.
		The first Indian station, Dakshin Gangotri, was set up on the icy shelf in 1983 which was later dismantled to establish the permanent base Maitri in 1988-89 in the Schirmarcher Oasis region.
		The experiments, to be conducted with the help of the second station, will help in calculating the possibility of major quakes, Dr Gupta, a former director of Hyderabad-based National Geophysical Research Institute said.

		You'll note that you have a perfect ANGLE on the steal of second: A simple pivot allows you to look between the runner and the base, not over his shoulder.
		Unless the runner was leaning and still "swimming" for the base coming back or unless he has a massive coronary and dies before returning to first, you will likely call the runner safe.
		If there is a steal of second, try to get two or three quick, large backwards steps towards the base before the ball reaches (and turns) you.
