Caitlin Ryan (Degrassi)
Caitlin Ryan is a fictional character from the ''Degrassi'' teen drama franchise. Portrayed by Stacie Mistysyn, Caitlin is a main character on both '' Degrassi Junior High'' and '' Degrassi High'', which chronicle her maturation from a seventh grader to a high school graduate. Mistysyn returned to play an adult Caitlin on '' Degrassi: The Next Generation'', in which Caitlin was a recurring character. Mistysyn won a Gemini Award for her portrayal of the character in 1989.

She was taking dance lessons when she received a flyer advertising auditions for ''The Kids Of Degrassi Street.'' Unaware of what to wear to the audition, Mistysyn auditioned in shorts and a tank top; she believed that this helped her in the process because the producers "were looking for kids just being kids". In that series, Mistysyn played a character named Lisa Canard. When production began on Junior High in 19 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Third Base
A third baseman, abbreviated 3B, is the player in baseball or softball whose responsibility is to defend the area nearest to third base — the third of four bases a baserunner must touch in succession to score a run. In the scoring system used to record defensive plays, the third baseman is assigned the number 5. Third base is known as the "hot corner", because the third baseman is often the infielder who stands closest to the batter—roughly 90–120 feet away, but even closer if a bunt is expected. Most right-handed hitters tend to hit the ball hard in this direction. A third baseman must possess good hand-eye coordination and quick reactions to catch batted balls whose speed can exceed . The third base position requires a strong and accurate arm, as the third baseman often makes long throws to first base or quick ones to second base to start a double play. As with middle infielders, right-handed throwing players are standard at the position because they do not need to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
