How many left handed players played 2nd base and who were they?
It is a rarity to see a lefthander playing second base but it has occurred several times in MLB history. Willie Keeler, a Hall of Famer nicknamed Wee Willie and normally an outfielder, played 19 games at second base over his career that spanned 1892-1910. Hal Chase, normally a first baseman, played 36 games at second base between 1905-1919. Bill Hulen, a utility player that also played shortstop,played 2 games at second base for the 1896 Philadelphia Phillies and Don Mattingly, famed Yankee first baseman, played 1 game at second base in 1983.

Do shortstops play defense between first base and second base in baseball?
In general short stops play in-between 2nd and 3rd base, but are not required play in that area. Many teams use "the shift" for lefties that are pull hitters (typically pull the ball to right field) and play their short stop just to the first base side of second base for these batters.
Is it still a force play at second base if the batter reaches first base before the force play is made at second base?
Yes it would still be a force play at 2nd base, since the runner going from 1st to 2nd is required to advance (since the runner going to first, has not been put out yet)
What is in-field play in softball?
Well for example: If a runner is on first and second, and the batter hits the ball, the force play is at third base because the lead runner is forced to run to third due to the runners behind him/her.
In baseball what are the ways in which a triple play can be performed?
In baseball there are many ways in which a triple play can be performed. If bases are loaded and the third baseman stops a ground ball, tags his base, throws the ball to second base, and the second baseman throws the ball to first base, that would be one example of a triple play.

Why do baseball players rarely touch the base when completing a double play to first?
I am assuming you are talking about the play at second base before the throw to first to complete the double play. If we saw every play at second base in slow motion we would probably see the bag touched in 99%+ of the times. There are two main reasons why the second baseman or shortstop makes the play very quickly. First the play must be made quickly because of the time spent in throwing the ball to second to get the force out. The defense is trying to make two outs in the time it takes to make one out so the second baseman/shortstop must get rid of the ball quickly to have a chance to get the runner at first. Second is that there is a runner bearing down on second base trying to break up the double play. The fielder at second must get rid of the ball and then move out of the way of the runner that is trying to break up the double play.
