What is the top requirement for a second baseman? A fine shortstop. I am fortunate in having the greatest shortstop in baseball, Luis Aparicio.

Nellie Fox

There was a time when rival teams used a shift against me. They would put the second baseman on the shortstop's side of the bag, move the shortstop into the hole to his right, and have the third baseman hug the foul line. The idea was to build an infield wall against a known right-handed pull hitter.

Harmon Killebrew

I always wanted to be a shortstop so I could play more often!

Jim Abbott

I thought I was a pretty good shortstop, but I also wanted to play in the major leagues.

Ryne Sandberg

I thank those people that thought I had lost the agility to play shortstop, because they gave me more motivation.

Asdrubal Cabrera

Any time you play shortstop or center field, the majority of the baseballs are hit in the middle of the field.

Aaron Judge

You have more time to make the play at second base than shortstop. That's why the game's more quick.

Asdrubal Cabrera

I was a center fielder, and I played shortstop.

Mike Conley Jr.

I guess heaven needed a shortstop.

George Steinbrenner

My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you're a kid, you want to be just like your dad.

Derek Jeter

It's hard for a shortstop to play with a guy you don't know in the middle of the season. If you know a guy early in spring training, you're working with them.

Asdrubal Cabrera

I was for a short time on the baseball team as shortstop, where I was not so good.

Herbert Hoover

Nobody ever won a pennant without a star shortstop.

Leo Durocher

Carl Yastrzemski was the best all-around player. He could run, throw and hit. He had the ability to play a number of different positions. He signed as a shortstop. He could play the outfield, of course, and third base and first, too. He was a tremendous athlete. Mickey Mantle was unbelievable, too.
