If the score is tied and a player hits a walk-off home run with runners on base does he still have to run around the bases?

Yes, notably when Ventura hit a grand slam in the 1999 post season:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Slam_Single So technically, by rule, the player isn't REQUIRED to run the bases if his run is not needed to win the game. However, if he does not, he is not given credit for a HOME RUN but only the bases he touches...and the only runs (and RBI's) that count are those forced in by the batter based on which bases he advances to...

It is where there is one-two runners aboard the bases (probably a runner at first base or two runners at first and second base) and a baseball player hits the ball within the infield and gets two of the runners out (depending on who was on what bases) and then there is two outs from that play!

Why are all baseball players wearing #28 today?
Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two opposing teams who take turns batting and fielding. The game proceeds when a player on the fielding team, called the pitcher, throws a ball which a player on the batting team tries to hit with a bat. The objective of the offensive team (batting team) is to hit the ball into the field of play, allowing its players to run the bases, having them advance counter-clockwise around four bases to score what are called "runs". The objective of the defensive team (fielding team) is to prevent batters from becoming runners, and to prevent runners' advance around the bases.[2] A run is scored when a runner legally advances around the bases in order and touches home plate (the place where the player started as a batter). The team that scores the most runs by the end of the game is the winner.

When bases are loaded ball is hit on ground to first baseman who tags runner out then throws home all runners go back to previous bases are runners all safe?
Yes. If the first baseman tags out the batter on his way to first, the three existing runners can return to their original bases; none can be "forced out."
How many bases do you receive if a fielder catches a ball in his cap?
If it is a batted ball, the batter and all runners are awarded 3 bases. If it is a thrown ball, the batter and all runners are awarded 2 bases from whatever base they had occupied when the ball was thrown.
If a batter hits a home run?
If a batter hits a home run, he can automatically run around all the bases and the team gets a point. If there are any runners already on the bases, then they count as points too. This is why you can have two-run home runs and 3-run home runs. If the bases are loaded, and the player at bat hits a home run, then the team gets four points. This is called a grand slam.
Can runners advance on a fly out with bases loaded?
Runners can attempt to advance on a fly out, provided that they tag up (touch the bade they are currently on after the ball is caught).
Player throws his glove at a baseball does not hit ball?
Nothing happens but it reflects poorly on the player throwing the glove. If he does hit the ball with his glove a dead ball is called and the runners advance two bases and the fielder is charged with an error.
