User Avatar

In Major League Baseball, runners are not required to slide at home plate. The rule only states that a player must attempt to avoid a collision if there is a play at the plate. If a player intentionally makes contact with the catcher, they can be called out for interference.

A dinner plate has an 11 inch diameter and a salad plate has an 8 inch diameter how many more square inches does the dinner plate cover than the salad plate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of the dinner plate is 5.5 inches (half of the diameter), and the radius of the salad plate is 4 inches. The area of the dinner plate is 95.03 square inches (π * 5.5^2), while the area of the salad plate is 50.27 square inches (π * 4^2). The dinner plate covers 44.76 square inches more than the salad plate.

Can a pitcher be relieved at any time during a game?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A pitcher must pitch to one batter before he can be relieved. The only exception to this would be if the pitcher suffered an injury during warmups or while pitching to the first batter he faced. In that case, should the umpire deem the injury serious enough to warrent immediate medical attention, a new pitcher may be brought in.

How can seven batters come to the plate and not score a run?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the first batter walks or gets on base, but the next three batters get out, that's three outs after four batters without scoring a run. Then, the next three batters could also get out without the runner advancing or scoring, resulting in seven batters coming to the plate without scoring a run.

Why do you think that foul is fair and fair is foul?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This line is from Shakespeare's Macbeth and reflects the play's theme of moral confusion, where good and evil are blurred. It suggests that what seems just may actually be corrupt, and that what seems corrupt may actually be just. This paradox highlights the characters' struggle between right and wrong and the consequences of their actions.

How many innings are there in a season of baseball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For an individual team, 162 games X 9 innings per game = 1,458. That's assuming all games last a full nine innings, which is not always the case. A game CAN be called "complete" at any point after the end of the 5th inning, provided both teams have an equal number of offensive innings, if weather conditions prohibit the continuation of play. I have no idea how often this happens. Also, if the home team is leading in the middle of the ninth inning (or the middle of the 5th-8th if weather forces a stop in play), there is no need to play the bottom half of the inning, and the game is considered complete. And since the home team has a slight advantage in a game, I would say about half of all games end this way. So, even without the 5- to 8-inning weather games, about half of all games end at 8.5 innings. For all teams combined: There are 30 teams, each of which plays 1,458 innings, but since each game involves 2 teams, you have to divide that by 2. 21,870 innings. Again, that doesn't allow for games called at 5, 6, 7, 8, or 8.5 innings. Also, sometimes one or more additional games are required at the end of the regular season to break divisional or wildcard race ties. These are not included. Nor, for that matter, are playoff games and world series games.

How do you compute a baseball players batting average?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Number of hits divided by the official at bats. An error or fielder's choice counts against a batting average as an at bat, but it does not count as a hit. A sacrifice or walk does not count against a batter's at bat totals. These are plate appearances which are different. So, a batter could have 140 plate appearances, 100 at bats, and 30 hits. You would divide 30 by 100, which would give you a batting average of .300.

What is the value of a 1932 Cubs vs Yankees World Series program from a game at Wrigley Field?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A 1922 New York Giants World Series program played at The Polo Grounds is worth about $1,500.-$2,500. in excellent - near/mint condition. A 1922 New York Yankees World Series program played at Yankee Stadium is worth $1,500.-$2,500. As with all collectibles, condition is the most important factor of all providing that the item is authentic. With programs/scorecards the slightest flaws will bring the price down significantly. An exceptional mint condition scorecard could sell for more. Common flaws would be staining, foxing (yellowing), fading, creases, rips, loose pages, cracked binding, and writing on the cover. Un-scored programs will generally sell at a higher price than a scored program but sometimes it doesn't effect value. The over all condition, and how well the cover displays will.

The value on a "scored" program as opposed to a un-scored program can vary depending on the game, and collectors preference. In general I would say an un-scored program will sell at a higher price. Some collectors do not mind scored programs, or might prefer it scored. A game in note that might sell at a higher price "scored" would be Don Larsens perfect game in the World Series.

Is a batter given a hit if with bases loaded less than 2 outs batter hits ball in the air landing safely into the outfield but the runner on first is forced out at 2nd by the right fielder?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Baseball rules provide that a runner is out when he is struck by a batted ball (provided the ball was not touched by a fielder first). All other runners return to the base they occupied at the time of the pitch. However, the batter is awarded first base and all runners that have to advance because of this advance. The Official Baseball Rules are 5.09(f) and 7.08(f).

What are the odds of a runner on second scoring with no outs in the ninth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have seen answers that range from 75% to 85%, but you can't go by those kinds of odds. Odds in baseball are completely different than, say, poker or craps. With poker, you always have 52 cards in a deck and the number never changes. With craps, the dice faces never change.

In baseball, your odds are determined by the abilities of at least six (Pitcher, Catcher, Batter 1, Batter 2, Batter 3, Base Runner on second) and up to thirteen (the remaining fielders) or more (Batter 4 if one of the other batters is walked) players.

Just some factors:

Is the pitcher on his "A" game? And even if so, is he an ace or mediocre?

The batting averages of the upcoming batters.

Are any of those batters hot or cold?

If NL, Will the pitcher be batting?

What are the fielding percentages of the players behind the pitcher?

Will the pitcher intentionally walk the next batter to try and create a force-out situation?

In baseball What is it called when there is a line drawn to 1 2 3 and home base?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The lines that are drawn in white from home to 1st and home to 3rd, and in both cases all the way past the two bases to the outfield walls, are called the foul lines. There is no line drawn on the field from 1st to 2nd, nor 2nd to 3rd.

Why do pitchers always walk to the dugout at the end of an inning?

Well some pitchers walk batters because they are really good like albert pujols. another reason is if there is 0 to 1 out s and the batter on deck sucks, they will walk them in the hope that the next batter will hit into a double play.
