Everything about shortstop

Summary

shortstop

Shortstop, abbreviated SS, is the baseball or softball fielding position between second and third base, which is considered to be among the most demanding defensive positions. Historically, the position was assigned to defensive specialists who were typically poor at batting and were often placed at the bottom of the batting order. Today, shortstops are often able to hit well and many are placed at the top of the lineup. In the numbering system used by scorers to record defensive plays, the shortstop is assigned the number 6. More hit balls go to the shortstop than to any other position, as there are more right-handed hitters in baseball than left-handed hitters, and most hitters have a tendency to pull the ball slightly. Like a second baseman, a shortstop must be agile, for example when performing a 4-6-3 double play.

What is the 60 for 60 Challenge? I have challenged myself to be able to knock out a set of 60 push-ups on, or before, my 60th birthday. These videos document my progression. But why? Simply put, I love a good challenge, and when an old friend (who is a year younger than I) posted, before and after, pics of his own journey to healthier living on FB, it inspired me to pose a challenge to myself. I invite you to join me on this journey and encourage you offer your comments, questions and input. When I'm not putting in the work on my "60 for 60 Fitness Challenge,' I'm busily writing and narrating my audiobooks. Welcome to a place where history and storytelling merge. The “Adventures of William Bruce,” audiobook series chronicles the adventures and misadventure of my 7th-great-grandfather's life during the colonial era of the early 1700s. In Book One: Life and Times of an American Immigrant, this old Seargeant takes you on a journey through time as we follow William from the Irish countryside to the American frontier. My books are heartwarming and inspiring family stories. Reminiscent of Little House on the Prairie, Daniel Boone, Davy Crocket, The Last of the Mohicans, The Patriot, 1883, and Outlander. So, grab a blankie and ease into a comfy chair, as I beguile you with William's enchanting story, my endearing characters, and amusing voices.
