Here are other examples: "the left-handed batter was forced out at second base", "after moving the runner up a base, the third baseman threw him out at first base", and "the ball went through right field for a double". In sports terminology, right field is the part of the outfield to the right of the centerfielder or left fielder when they are positioned along the foul line. The term can also refer to any activity or place that is on the right side of someone - for example, "a car crashed into a tree in right field." In English grammar, right means correct or proper, so right field is the correct or proper portion of the ballpark. However, this usage of the word right is not universal. In some countries (including the United States) if you say "right field" people will think you are referring to the correct or proper thing. Instead, they would expect you to say "left field" or even "center field". They will then ask which one you were talking about.
