How many batting lineups are there for the nine players of
a baseball team if the center fielder must bat fourth and the
pitcher last?
---------------------
Since center fielder and pitcher are already assigned only
7 positions need to be filled with the seven remaining
players.
7 ways to assign the 1st
6 ways to assign the 2nd
5 ways to assign the 3rd
etc.
7! = 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 5040
