Three is a magic number. You don’t need that Schoolhouse Rock song to convince you — the strongest shape has three sides, it was the basis of the Roman Triumvirate, and even the Greek underworld was guarded by a three-headed dog. Miguel Cabrera used to play third base. 3rd Bass made that dope song “Pop Goes the Weasel”.
OK, maybe I’m taking this three thing too far.
However, a former Tigers third baseman is in today’s links, as well as a query on who will fill that defensive role in the years to come.
