Python programming help?

so i have a list in python, of baseball players

and its under the variable baseballPlayers, so it looks like this:

baseballPlayers = ['Cabrera', 'Kinsler', 'Martinez', 'Hunter']

now if i type

print(baseballPlayers[1]) it will show up 'kinsler', which is correct, cause it starts off as 0, cabrera, 1, kinsler, 2, martinez, 3, hunter, but what i want to know is, how do i print off those numbers?

lets say i have an input() selection, and the user were to type in "kinsler" i want it to come back as [1], to show where it was in the list.

help!

    print (baseballPlayers.index('kinsler'))

    Something more complicated is required if there are duplicates in the list
