Sitting in the Catbird's Seat

Posted by K. Timonen on October 28, 2000

I had heard long ago that the catbird's seat was the seat in the baseball dugout for the next at-bat after the one on-deck. It would still be a position of being "in control of a situation" as this player might have the scoring run or the go-ahead run. Any thoughts?
