Catcher
Catcher is a position in baseball and softball. When a batter takes their turn to hit, the catcher crouches behind home plate, in front of the (home) umpire, and receives the ball from the pitcher. In addition to this primary duty, the catcher is also called upon to master many other skills in order to field the position well. The role of the catcher is similar to that of the wicket-keeper in cricket. Positioned behind home plate and facing toward the outfield, the catcher can see the whole field, and is therefore in the best position to direct and lead the other players in a defensive play. The catcher typically calls for pitches using hand signals. The calls are based on the pitcher's mechanics and strengths, as well as the batter's tendencies and weaknesses. Essentially, the catcher controls what happens during the game when the ball is not "in play". Foul tips, bouncing balls in the dirt, and contact with runners during plays at the plate are all events to be handled by th ...

Ferrell Field
Ferrell is an English surname of Irish origin. Origin The name is possibly derived from the patronym Ó Fearghail (meaning "descendant of Fearghail", whose name means "man of valour"), however the anglicised forms of Ó Fearghail are principally O'Farrell and Farrell, and some genetic testing has found the Ferrell lineage to be genetically different from the Farrell lineage (see the Farrell DNA Project R-BY34900). Employees of a given immigration registry may have simply spelled Farrell incorrectly, however this would be an extensive case of systemic error, given the number of Ferrells in the US. The Ferrell name may have otherwise evolved from the surname Ferril, with a 1701 ship's passenger list noting one Jane Ferril's arrival in New York. Surname * Andy Ferrell (1984), English footballer * Clelin Ferrell (born 1997), American football player * Conchata Ferrell (1943–2020), American actress * Jami Ferrell (born 1974), American model * John H.
