Baseball in North and Central America follows a specific set of guidelines.

At a time, a team can have 9 players on the field playing defense and 9 players in their batting order.

Playing defensively in the field are:

-Right fielder

-Left fielder

-Center fielder

-3rd baseman

-2nd baseman

-1st baseman

-Shortstop

-Catcher

-Pitcher

When up to bat, there are differences when it comes to MLB. When games are played in a National League's team's ballpark, the pitcher bats. However, in the American League, pitchers are replaced by a designated hitter (DH) who does not play in the field on defense. There are 9 players in the batting order in both leagues.

I played baseball for 16 years and on my high school team my coach liked to do the same thing. He said it was so the sun wasnt alway in our face and he would always be the third base coach so he didnt want to walk all the way around the field every inning. Makes sense. Im sure every coach has their reason.

from the baseball almanac The newly developed Players League debuted with eight teams (Boston, Brooklyn, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, New York Philadelphia and Pittsburgh) as the Buffalo Bisons recorded the greatest opening day winning margin with a 23-2 victory over the Cleveland Infants. The short-lived Players League folded in December returning all of their players to their original teams. The Pittsburgh franchise deviated from the agreement though and signed second baseman Louis Bierbauer who had originally belonged to the Philadelphia Phillies. After being accused in the papers of being �Pirates� the team adopted the nickname and refused to return Bierbauer to their cross-state rivals. The Players League listed above played for one year, 1890. The first major baseball league was the National Association that played from 1871-1875. There were nine teams that played in that first year: Philadelphia Athletics, Chicago White Stockings, Boston Red Stockings, Washington Olympics, New York Mutuals, Troy Haymakers, Fort Wayne Kekiongas, Cleveland Forest Citys, and Rockford Forest Citys.

The last intentional bases-loaded pass occurred May 28, 1998.

This reduced the Diamondbacks' lead to 8-7. Brent Mayne hit a hard liner to right for the final out.
