He started his MLB career with the Rangers, in 2003, and played with them until being traded to the Atlanta Braves on July 31, 2007.

Official Baseball Rules section 2.00 Definition of Terms: A fielders choice is the act of a fielder who handles a fair grounder and, instead of throwing to first base to put out the batter-runner, throws to another base in an attempt to put out a preceding runner.

The Milwaukee Brewers won 13 out of 27 games played in August of 2009.

That was Albert Belle who hit 50 home runs in 1995.

An object with less mass will have a greater speed when the same amount of energy is expended into it. Thus, a baseball will be going much faster than a softball at the time it is thrown. For the same angle of launch, an object will go further when it has a higher velocity (a fairly trivial and simple fact).

Additionally, an object with greater surface area is slowed much quicker than one with less surface area. The baseball experiences less drag at the same speed than the softabll; while it is travelling faster and experiences greater drag as a result, it will also go further before being remotely near to the speed of the softball.

An out can be a result of a strikeout, a batter hitting the ball and it is caught, or if they are thrown out at first base.

The Umpires get together and the Umpire can call interference on himself and the playing running or batting has to redo it

Total bases is not relevant with pinch runners. Total bases is only relevant with batters and is a statistical category used to measure a baseball player's effectiveness at the plate. So the pinch runner would be credited with 0 total bases. However, the run scored would be credited to the pinch runner.

how does a batting average measure a picther performance

I'm always surprised at how few people know the correct answer to this question. The question was originally posed as a SCORING question. That is, in how many ways can the reach of first base be SCORED. Let's ignore the "without hitting the ball" part - its usually asked as "without getting a base hit". They are:

1. Base Hit

2. Base on Balls

3. Intentional Base on Balls

4. Hit by Pitch

5. Error

6. Fielder's Choice

7. Passed Ball

8. Wild Pitch

Every other scenario you can think of is scored under one of these categories.

** As previously noted, before deletion, there are several scenarios that can play themselves out to where a batter can reach 1st safely, however, the 8 ways listed above are the official scoring for any scenario, any other discussion should be done on the discussion page

He has two children from his first marriage to Susann "Sun" Branco: son Nikolai Lamar Bonds (born December 1989), who was once a San Francisco Giants batboy, and daughter Shikari Bonds (born March 1991).

He has a younger daughter from his marriage to Liz Watson: Aisha Lynn Bonds (born February 1999).

I think you're asking, "if the pitcher throws a ball that is waaaay out of the strike zone, but the batter swings at it anyway, does it count as a strike?" The answer is YES - if it were a foul ball it would count as a strike, so why should it be any different if it is put into play?

The Phillies play their home games in Citizens Bank Park, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Through August 12, 2016, Alex Rodriguez had 696 career home runs. He is now in fourth place on the all-time home run list, trailing only Barry Bonds (762), Henry Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714). He surpassed Willie Mays' career home-run total of 660 on May 7, 2015 with a solo shot against the Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium.

he biggest single change was the selection of that outstanding pillar of correctness, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, as the autocratic Commissioner of Baseball.

This old racist almost single handedly cleaned up the mess made by the Black Sox and made other improvements on the way baseball was run.

The owners of course, later regretted that they had given such broad sweeping powers to this commissioner to regulate what they considered their game.

Baseball teams in those days were usually owned and operated by individuals who regarded it as a business and the team was usually their main source of income. There was no TV and radio was still in its infancy, so almost all income for a team owner was generated by gate receipts. If the fans stopped coming, they were bankrupt.

As far as changes on the field, the biggest one was mandating that new clean balls were to be used whenever a ball was soiled or scuffed. Also, the spitball and variations of it were outlawed, except for those pitchers who had developed it and the outlawing of them too, would have destroyed many a pitching staff.

There's no universally accepted or proven answer to this question. Rob Neyer of ESPN researched this question while working on a book, and the three main candidates he found are Mickey Mantle, Frank Thomas, and the Negro Leagues' Josh Gibson. See the related links for more info.

Lee Smith with 180 career saves with the Chicago Cubs (1980-1987).

Probably from the Longhorn Bulls that reside in Texas. The Daily Texan's sports editor (and later editor), D.A. Frank, was the first to use "Longhorns" in the newspaper when referring to the Texas football team during the 1903 season. Prior to that point, the team had been known as "Varsity." Texas Varsity was sporadically referred to as the "long horns" by some Texas sports writers beginning in 1900. However, David Frank, Alex Weisburg (editor) and one other individual, made the choice to always refer to University of Texas sports teams as "Longhorns" and believed that if they used the name consistently it would eventually catch on with students, faculty and the alumni. By 1906, the name was official. "Longhorn" was chosen as a name because the particular breed of cattle was an integral part of Texas history and for many represented a unique tenaciousness, strength and individuality. For them, the Longhorn was symbolic of Texas and therefore appropriate for the University of Texas. An actual longhorn was presented in 1916 by Stephen Pinckney to the University of Texas to serve as a mascot. Longhorns were introduced to the longhorn during halftime of the Texas Longhorn versus Texas A&M football game. The Longhorns went on to win the game 22-7. That December, Ben Dyer stated in the Texas Exes Alcalde: "His name is Bevo. Long may he reign!" The following February, a group of Texas A&M students broke into the stockyard where Bevo was being held and branded him with "13-0," the score from A&M's 1915 victory over the Longhorns. Many A&M students have since told the fictitious story that the name "Bevo" originated with Longhorns attempting to alter the 13-0 brand. Bevo I was later served as the main course of the 1920 Longhorn football banquet. The A&M football team was invited to attend and was given the portion of the hide which still read "13-0." 107 years after Varisty being referred to as "long horns," the University of Texas Longhorns have one of the most distinctive mascots in college sports.

Yes--there's no limit to how many players can be substituted at once. Also, in the National League (or any league where pitchers have to bat) a team can make a "double switch", which in the case of a pitcher and catcher would result in the new pitcher batting in the previous catcher's spot in the batting order, and the new catcher in the pitcher's spot (probably ninth).

A 'no trade clause' is a section in a player's contract that specifies the player cannot be traded to another team or specifies the teams that a player can be traded to. Some players have in their contracts that they cannot be traded. This means the player will play the entire length of the contract for that team. Some players have in their contracts that they may be traded only to certain teams. For example, a player may say he can only be traded to the Yankees, Dodgers, or Red Sox but to no other team.
