Hi Peter

The 1933 GOUDEY set is replete with star outfielders; therefore, I positioned Mel Ott at 3rd base. Simply, because I wanted him in my Line-up everyday.

To your question.....can you say Craig Nettles ? Craig played the outfield the first 3 (or four) years of his career.

Furthermore, through-out the 1960's Harmon Killebrew played Left Field (besides 3rd base).
