Here you go Lillie...

I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will,
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
What am I?

I was thinking more on the lines of “Tomorrow” cmill, they both have pretty much the same meaning and should work.

A woman shoots her husband, then holds him under water for five minutes. Finally, she hangs him. Five minutes later they enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

Shooting with a camera and not a gun!

Andy dislikes the catcher. Ed's sister is engaged to the second baseman. The center fielder is taller than the right fielder. Harry and the third baseman live in the same building. Paul and Allen each won $20 from the pitcher at pinochle. Ed and the outfielders play poker during their free time. The pitcher's wife is the third baseman's sister. The pitcher, catcher, and infielders except Allen, Harry, and Andy, are shorter than Sam. Paul, Andy, and the shortstop lost $50 each at the racetrack. Paul, Harry, Bill, and the catcher took a trouncing from the second baseman at pool. Sam is involved in a divorce suit. The catcher and the third baseman each have two children. Ed, Paul, Jerry, the right fielder, and the center fielder are bachelors. The others are married. The shortstop, the third baseman, and Bill each cleaned up $100 betting on the fight. One of the outfielders is either Mike or Andy. Jerry is taller than Bill. Mike is shorter than Bill. Each of them is heavier than the third baseman.

Using these facts, determine the names of the men playing the various positions on the baseball team.

Hmmm sigh meet, lord knows how long I have been looking at this. ok, here's my answers: - asuming outfielder means "left fielder" and infielder means "base" cause left fielder and first base are not mentioned in the riddle. Andy = First Baseman, Ed = Shortstop, Harry = Pitcher, Paul = Third Baseman, Allen = Catcher, Sam = Left Fielder, Bill = Center Fielder, Jerry = Second Baseman and Mike = Right Fielder.

CrAzY and Grrrrrrrr sigh, head spinning now lol
