[edit]Someone's removed Joey Cora from the list - I've left it out 'cos I'm not much of a baseball expert, but could someone check it? Ojw 22:39, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
second base
[edit]"second base" redirects here. I think this is a term among teenagers how far you went to your love interest, right? What does it exactly stand for -might we add this to the article? Peter S. 09:37, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
- That's an absurdity that has no place in an encyclopedia! 74.249.77.168 (talk) 01:23, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Joe Gordon
[edit]I'm new at this. I would like to add the name of Joe Gordon to the list of well-known second basemen. He was much better known in his day than many of those currently on the list. Any comment? [User:PGericke 12:35, 21 October 2006
- It is incredible that Joe Gordon hasn't been added, yet, and that the Wikipedia makes him so hard to add. Joe Gordon was an All-Star Second Baseman, and he was the American League Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 1942, in spite of the fact that the amazing Ted Williams played that entire season before leaving to become a U.S. Marine Corps fighter pilot. Joe Gordon also spent some time playing first base, but he is listed in the Wikipedia as a Second Baseman.74.249.77.168 (talk) 01:23, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Wrong Information
[edit]The list of second basemen is out of date. The page for Eugenio Vélez says he is a utility player, but he is listed as second baseman for the San Francisco Giants here. Also, the list says Felipe López plays for the Washington Nationals, but his page says he plays for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Tadahito Iguchi was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies, and Mark DeRosa is on the Cleveland Indians, not the Chicago Cubs. 67.171.172.44 (talk) 19:58, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm going to delete it, as it's unlikely that anyone will ever look for that information here. Not to mention the pain of keeping it up to date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.182.172.229 (talk) 18:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Paul Molitor
[edit]He's on the list, but is in the HOF as a 3rd baseman. His plate appearance breakdown is:
DH- 44%
3B- 30%
2B- 15%, mostly 1978-1980 and 1990. 2nd for ROY, 1 AS appearance there.
53% of his defensive innings came at 3B
27% of his defensive innings came at 2B[1]
I'm not sure if the footnote about playing 2B early in his career is enough to warrant his inclusion.
