The manager of a baseball team received a strange communication

from the team's general manager, who told him to select 25 players for

his roster according to this formula:

1/2 of the team had to be outfielders and infielders

1/4 of the team had to be starting pitchers

1/6 of the team had to be relief pitchers

1/8 of the team had to be catchers



The manager was a bit confused by the general manager's request,

yet complied anyway. How did he do it
