Varitek?

Don't know if he made the CWS at Ga. Tech though.

 

[billhill999]

Al Leiter played for Toms River little league, in my home state.

Where did Varitek go to college, I think he was in the LL WS.

You guys are too good.

Achieving high success at every level, Varitek is one of only two players in the history of the sport to have played in the World Championship game of the Little League World Series, in the National Championship game of the College World Series, and in the Major League World Series (Ed Vosberg is the other). Varitek stands alone as the only baseball player in history to have played in the three aforementioned World Series along with playing on the Olympic Baseball team, and in the World Baseball Classic. As well, his Lake Brantley High School baseball team won the Florida State Championship his senior year in 1990 and was named the number one high school baseball team in the land by a USA Today poll.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference">[1]</sup>

FWIW - the answer..

So Taguchi 2005 St. Louis Cardinals

Leftfield - 52 games
Centerfield - 50 games
Rightfield - 57 games.

No other player accomplished such a feat if you count each outfield spot a separate position.

Mike Davis, but I think he was on first, not second.

Davis stole second on a 2-2 ball. Gibson got bumped when catcher tried to throw to second and he didn't even get a throw off.

Next pitch was the HR on a full count.
