Playing the "hot-corner" is most easily stated as a position for the courageous. Cheating in, only to use your meek leather shield to defend yourself from a ball that seems more like a missile. Back hands down the line, or deep into the hole to their left. Throws on the run, or from their knees. These guys do it all, and often make it look easy. Some of them even have a pretty big bat to come along with it. Baseball greats like Brooks Robinson and Mike Schmidt to the more modern era of Adrian Beltre and Chipper Jones.
