How close should a third

Answered by
HEINE GKOH

HElNE GKOH
Third bassman, Cincinnati Reds, a
leading National League slugger last
season, probably the greatest third
baseman In tho game today.
My success in playing third base
has been due to the fact that 1 play
about two steps from the third base
foul line. and for this reason:
A bill hit just along the third base
line is. ninety-nine times out of a
hundred. two or three base hit;
while a ball hit between the third
baseman and the shortstop is usu-
ally single. try to play where I
can stop the ones that would be
extra base hits. My experience has
taught me that this position is two
PAGES inside the foul line.
