Why are basketball players called cagers?

In the initial era of basketball as we know it, an out of bounds pass was awarded to the first person to possess it. Well, it didn't take long for this rule to cause problems. Players were fighting for balls off of the court...fans were getting involved...and it was more like today's pro wrestling than it was basketball. Well, like hockey, it was decided that it would be an improvement for fans if the court was "caged" with a fence, and the patrons were protected. The players eneded up playing in a "cage," and thus the tag "Cagers" became a common term of endearment. Soon after the decision to "cage" the court came an even better one - to change the out of bounds rule altogether. Once the rule was changed, the fence was removed, and the "cagers" became a thing of the past. Now you know.

Why do basketballs have fake seams?

It allows the pitcher to impart spin on the ball. If balls were seamless it would be like trying to curve a raquetball. Although you can put a lot of spin on a raquetball, it doesn't really curve until it strikes the wall, then the spin changes the balls direction. The friction of the seams when released from the pitcher's hand helps curve, or in the case of a knuckle ball, jump through the air. The above is a consequence of a baseball having seams. The main reason a baseball has seams is that there is no way to 'weld' two pieces of leather together. The rules in baseball state (among other things about the ball) that the covering must be made of leather.
