Of course he'd play third base - in the younger years of Little League the best players are always put in the infield because that's where most of the balls are hit. And he'd have to play 2nd, short or 3rd, because you need agility and quickness at those positions - where all that PT and training would really pay off.
*nod nod*
That was exactly my thinking. Sam could have played the infield, too, if he'd had any interest, but I imagine him as one of those kids in the outfield who's always letting the ball fall while he wanders off to investigate something more interesting. *g*
Best of all, Dean would love a position where you sometimes have to just throw yourself to the dirt to stab at a line drive just inside the foul line. Gotta have the best arm in the infield to throw out the runner at first across that distance - I can just picture his satisfied look when he nails the runner inches from the bag.
hee! Yes.
And how much would he love being part of a team, and the camaraderie that comes with it? Sigh. Oh Dean.
Thanks again for the lovely feedback. I really appreciate it.
