I am a lefty, though I bat right-handed... When I was a kid I pitched, played first, outfield and shortstop as well. Now it's mainly softball with some friends.

Josh Charles

Outfield to infield is the most jarring because in the outfield, you have much more time to throw.

Ben Zobrist

I played outfield in high school a little bit.

Steve Clevenger

I've played the outfield my whole life. It's like riding a bike.

Cody Bellinger

Neuer is by far the best keeper I've played with and is also outstanding outfield.

Xabi Alonso

I played handball up until I joined United, both as a goalkeeper and an outfield player.

Peter Schmeichel

I played sometimes about as dull as you can play it. I did things the right way, you know. I think I modeled my playing ability after one of the all time greats, Joe DiMaggio. You always found Joe, when he played, you know, he always threw to the right base. He ran, he caught the ball. He did all the right things. He was an idol of mine in the outfield. He played the game the way it was supposed to be played.

Hank Aaron

Goalkeepers get criticism for commenting on outfield players, but outfield players can comment on goalkeeping; it is not a two-way street.

Karen Bardsley

I had a bilateral lisp, and I was overweight. I was the kid who played with the flowers on the ground in the outfield during baseball. I was that kid.

Jeffrey Tambor

Because I could throw so hard when I got to college, they made me a pitcher. If I had to it all over again, I would have stuck to playing in the outfield. I loved running. I can catch everything in the outfield. I could throw people out from the fence.

Shemar Moore

There never was a man on earth who pitched as much as me. But the more I pitched, the stronger my arm would get.

Satchel Paige

I started playing soccer at age 6 and played both outfield and goalie. Back then, no one wanted to go on goalie - coaches would make deals with me so I'd do it. It's a tough position as a kid.

Tim Howard

Somebody pitched me a superhero movie involving Abraham Lincoln. I was also pitched the idea of Dwarfula, which involved a mob of little people.

Verne Troyer

Once in a while, I played second base; once in a while, outfield. But those were just pickup games and softball leagues. So when I bought the Yankees, I tried to stay one pace ahead of the players.

George Steinbrenner

And so they pitched the show to me. It sounded like a good idea. We pitched the show back, and got it sold and got it on the air. And that's kicking the tail.
