You have to have a great fielder at shortstop, and you've got to have a guy that has good range and good hands in center field.

Aaron Judge

Oh, to be a center fielder, a center fielder- and nothing more

Philip Roth

The pitcher wound up and he flang the ball at the batter. The batter swang and missed. The pitcher flang the ball again and this time the batter connected. He hit a high fly right to the center fielder. The center fielder was all set to catch the ball, but at the last minute his eyes were blound by the sun and he dropped it.

Dizzy Dean

I was the center on our fraternity team, but I was a center-eligible, so I was known for my ability to go out, and I was pretty sure-handed catching a pass in the flat about ten yards down the field. My father played high school football and was pretty good. He also played center, so I always relished the idea that we both ended up playing center.

Paul Allen

Obviously, I'm a shortstop at heart. I want to continue to play shortstop.

Manny Machado

Whenever we play the Twins, Torii Hunter has a major impact on defense. He tells the left fielder and the right fielder to take the day off and he covers the whole outfield.

Ken Macha

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

He (Bill Terry) once hit a ball between my legs so hard that my center-fielder caught it on the fly backing up against the wall.

Dizzy Dean

I know I'm the world's worst fielder, but who gets paid for fielding? There isn't a great fielder in baseball getting the kind of dough I get paid for hitting.

Dick Stuart

I played baseball a little bit and ran some track. I was a catcher at one point and I was at shortstop.

Anthony Johnson

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

Aaron Judge

I attribute being a good center fielder to many things, but being outside with friends as a kid, running around and racing, that was a big part of it.

Torii Hunter

I was a good fielder in the gully in my college days. But in the outfield, I was not such a good fielder.

Mohammad Azharuddin

People saying, 'Life didn't turn out the way I wanted it to.' Welcome to the club. I wanted to be the starting center-fielder for the Boston Red Sox, for chrissakes!

Denis Leary

I've played third base for a couple years. I did well, and I thought I was an elite player at that position, but at the end of the day, I've been a shortstop my entire life.

Manny Machado

Marc Gasol, he's more of a true center. There are guys who play that traditional center role, but the game is also played differently now.
