SS
2B
OF
P - Least

John,

You've got the least one correct. Pitchers bring up the rear, with only 19 of the 222 player-managers coming from the pitching ranks. Top position is not 1st base though, they actually came in 3rd highest with 33 player-managers.

OF has to have the most (sheer numbers game OF comprises 3 positions so)

P has the least

Clark Griffith was early Yankees player-manager

OK, great. I went with my gut and got 1 out 7 positions correct. This is one (of MANY) reasons I don't bet on sports
