About David Eckstein

David Mark Eckstein (born January 20, 1975 in Sanford, Florida), nicknamed "X Factor," is a Major League Baseball infielder for the San Diego Padres. He is noted for his size, as he is small for a professional sports player at 5' 7". Eckstein's name is pronounced (ECK-styne) and means "cornerstone" in German. His "walkup music" is Ludacris's "Number One Spot" (appropriate since Eckstein usually bats as the leadoff hitter) and Crystal Method's "Busy Child."
