This is SO prefectly Dean. 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. 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.

This story was as perfect as ... a baseball game in spring!
