When I started reading OBR books in the 1950s, everything was by name:
Abel, Baker, Charles, Daniels, Edwards, Frank, etc. As I remember, there was no F9, F3; it was "the right fielder" and "the first baseman."
That's what I got used to and what I still futilely prefer.
Of course, if they used names today, they'd get complaints from the p.c. crowd no matter what names they chose, so I guess R1, R2, work.
I like the softball system slightly better than the baseball one.
