	Third baseman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A third baseman, abbreviated 3B, is the player in the sport of baseball whose responsibility is to defend the area nearest to third base, the third of four bases a baserunner must touch in a counterclockwise succession in order to score a run.
		The third baseman requires good reflexes in reacting to batted balls, as they are often the closest infielder (roughly 90-120 feet) to the batter.
		Expectations of how well a third baseman should be able to hit have varied a great deal over time; in the early years of the sport, these expectations were similar to those for shortstops, the third baseman being merely the less skilled defensive player.

		On the merits of his Gray Ink and HOF standards, Torre edges Rolen, though Rolen would've had a chance had he been healthy in 2005, I suspect.
