How many bases does the runner get on a overthrown baseball?
For an overthrown ball that winds up out of play (in the stands or dugout), each runner may advance one base. If an overthrown ball does not go out of play but is kicked out of play or by some other means is put out of play, runners may advance two bases. This very, very rarely occurs but lets say there is a routine ground ball to the shortstop and he makes a poor throw to first base that gets by the first baseman and comes to rest in front of the dugout. The catcher runs over to retrieve the ball and, in his haste, kicks the ball into the dugout. In this case, runners may advance two bases.
What are the Number names on baseball positions on the playing field?
Number are assigned to each position for the purpose of scoring the game. Numbers are used as a kind of "shorthand" or abbreviation. The numbers assigned are as follows: # Pitcher # Catcher # First Baseman # Second Baseman # Third Baseman # Short Stop # Left Fielder # Center Fielder # Right Fielder
For example: If the baseball is hit to the Left fielder and he catch's the ball for a putout the play is scored 7. A double play shortstop to the second baseman to the first baseman is scored 6-4-3 DP

How do they change the Oakland stadium from a football field to a baseball field?
The Oakland Raiders play their home games at the Oakland Coliseum which is also home to the Oakland Athletics major league baseball team. The Coliseum is not a baseball field, it's a multiuse stadium, which is used for both football and baseball when these seasons overlap (September to early October, unless of course, the A's make the playoffs). Once the baseball season is over they will fill in the dirt basepaths with sod and it will look more like a football field then.
