Hank Greenberg - Fielding

Fielding

As a fielder, the 6-foot-4-inch (193 cm) Greenberg was awkward and unsure of himself early in his career but he mastered his first-base position through countless hours of practice. Over the course of his career, he demonstrated a higher-than-average fielding percentage and range at first base. When asked to move to left field in 1940 to make room for Rudy York, he worked tirelessly to master that position as well and reduced his errors in the outfield from 15 in 1940 to 0 in 1945.

Famous quotes containing the word fielding:

    Essay writing is perhaps ... the easiest for the author and requires little more than what is called a fluency of words and a vivacity of expression to avoid dullness; but without ... a real foundation of matter ... an essay writer is very apt, like Dogberry in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, to think that if he had the tediousness of a king, he would bestow it all upon his readers.
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    I was by degrees awakened as from a dream, and feared that my whole life could properly be counted nothing else but a fantastic vision.
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    Thwackum was for doing justice, and leaving mercy to Heaven.
    —Henry Fielding (1707–1754)
