Shortstop is the second album by the American singer-songwriter Sara Hickman, released in 1990. “I Couldn’t Help Myself” was an adult contemporary hit. Shortstop was Hickman’s sole album for Elektra; she was dropped after its release, in part, because she did not include her Arachnophobia soundtrack song, “Blue Eyes Are Sensitive To The Light.”
