second bases[edit]

third bases[edit]

These seem to be either singularia tantum or possibly English nouns with unattested plurals. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:31, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? The plurals for all three are easily attested on a quick b.g.c. search. --EncycloPetey 20:09, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, not really: google books:"third bases" -"first|second|home and|or third bases" yields, relevant among its first 100 hits, only the three I've now added to [[citations:third bases]] (and one more which Google won't let me see); google books:"first bases" -"third|second|home and|or first bases" yields among its first 110 only the three I've added to [[citations:first bases]]; and the first 250(!) hits at google books:"second bases" -"third|first|home and|or second bases" yield only the three I've added to [[citations:second bases]]. But I think they're all cited.​—msh210 16:59, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RFV passed. Thanks for the cites, msh210! —RuakhTALK 01:01, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
