Meteors strike the Earth every day, by the thousands. Mostly they are tiny; the size of a grain of rice, perhaps. Probably only a few dozen a day are the size of a Baseball.
Every few weeks, something bigger hits, but we rarely know anything about it ahead of time.
As of May 9, 2009, there are no known meteors that are going to hit the Earth.
