Baseball assessment comment

Although for third-basemen, as well as for other mid-fielders, it is considered the standard for this fielder to be right-handed, has there ever been an exception to this? Have there ever been any left-handed fielding middle-infielders or catchers in the history of Major League Baseball? Does "standard" mean "without exception"?

Invention

[edit]

Jeopardy said that the third baseman was developed in 1899 because people were hitting too many line drives. The Mo-Ja'al (talk) 06:23, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
