I play baseball because I love the adrenaline rush of competition, the teamwork involved, and the opportunity to showcase my skills and passion for the game.

A 1953 Red Sox yearbook would have only been published in the year 1953. Other Red Sox yearbooks are published almost yearly, or biannually.

When there are no runners on base, pitchers take a "full windup", which usually entails a lot of motion with the legs and arms; it takes a relatively long time for this windup to take place and the ball to be released. When there are runners on base, they are allowed to steal the next base and could easily do so if the pitcher takes his full windup. So to counter-act that, pitchers "work out of the stretch," which means they stand with their back foot parallel and adjacent to the pitching rubber. After getting their signal from the catcher you will see them bring the ball to their glove and come to a stop before pitching. From this position they can quickly throw to the base where the runner is to make sure they aren't getting too big of a leadoff. And when they do pitch the ball they just take a fairly quick step forward and fire the pitch. This step is much faster than the rocking motion they use when in the "windup" and therefore there gives much less time for the runner to steal a base. Many relief pitchers will always "work from the stretch" even without runners on base. Since they come into the game with runners on base often, trying to keep consistent with two different pitching deliveries isn't worth it.

A 1968 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Mantle, Bahnsen, and Stottlemyre is worth about $300.-$400.

Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable.

If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less. For more information on team signed baseballs, links to full team rosters, key signatures, and price guide visit the following page from the link I left below.

Jerseys are the most selling MLB merchandise. The Giants jersey tops the list while the Yankees and Cardinals hold the second and the third number. As far as individual jerseys go, Posey tops the list, followed by Derek Jeter and Miguel Cabrera.

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.

The official Micheal Jordan 1991 highland mint bronze coin is currentley priced at $850.00 u.s. If the coin is in the original Highland Mint box with record of authenticity and player card it is priced at $2,000 u.s. The 4.25 Ounce Bronze Card is even better. But not as good as the even rarer Silver Card.

Art has many cards that'll easily sell for over $100, but unfortunately, this isn't one of them.

You'd be lucky if you got more than 20 cents for it.

Hope that helps,

"On deck" means the next batter in the lineup to follow the batter currently batting.

Gillette sponsored most of the all star games in the early 1970s. Finding promotional items from Gillette from 1972 such as posters, and All-star ballots together with the baseball will increase the value. If the ball was purchased with a mail away promotion any documentation of this like a mail in coupon, or advertising for the promotional baseball will also increase the value further. The Facsimile autographs on the Baseball will also determine the value appealing to collectors of a noted player. I believe ballplayers such as Carl Yastrzemski, Nolan Ryan, Brooks Robinson, and Reggie Jackson are on this ball and would be very desirable to the collectors of these ball players. Facsimile Baseballs from this era typically sell for $25.00 - $40.00. But by putting the ball together with the items described above, and Targeting collectors of players that are on the ball will double the value if not more. If the baseball was a souvenir bought at the stadium the price might be slightly lower.

Topps. Topps makes a of the baseball cards, or most of them. Overall, if you want a baseball card, go to Topps. Their the best. Their are many different brands, Topps, wich I think is the best, Flair, Upper Deck, and many more.
