Over at ESPN.com, Alan Schwarz has begun a series of articles on the greatest defensive plays at each position. Today he's looking at the corners - first and third base.
It's easy to remember great plays by outfielders, third basemen, and shortstops, but try guessing even one of the great first-sacker plays that made Schwarz's list. This is a fun series of articles... enjoy.
