Baseball

There are two leagues:American and National. American League has 14 teams and the National League has 16. They both have three divisions of 4-6 teams:East, Central, and West. Here are the teams in each division:

AL East- New York Yankees(NYY), Boston Red Sox(BOS), Tampa Bay Rays(TB), Toronto Blue Jays(TOR), Baltimore Orioles(BAL)

AL Central-Minnesota Twins9MIN), Chicago White Sox(CHW), Detriot Tigers(DET), Kansas City Royals(KC), Cleveland Indians(CLE)

AL West-Texas Rangers(TEX), Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim(LAA), Oakland Athletics(OAK), Seattle Mariners(SEA)

NL East-Philadelphia Phillies(PHI), New York Mets(NYM), Atlanta Braves(ATL), Washington Nationals(WAS), Florida Marlins(FLA)

NL Central-St. Louis Cardinals(STL), Cincinnati Reds(CIN), Chicago Cubs(CHC), Milwaukee Brewers(MIL), Houston Astros(HOU), Pittsburgh Pirates(PIT)

NL West-Los Angeles Dodgers(LAD), San Francisco Giants(SF), Colorado Rockies(COL), San Diego Padres(SD), Arizona Diamondbacks(ARI)

The major difference of the two leagues is in the National League, the pitcher whoever is in must bat, but in the American League they have a hitter who takes the pitchers spot in the lineup and is known as the Designated Hitter. The thing to know about it is the Designated Hitter(DH) does not play the field and stays in the dugout and he only bats. Hopefully this all helps you out.

Using an average life span of a baseball in a typical game as 6 pitches and the average number of pitches being 275 per game. The number of balls used is 46. Factoring this number out to each team in the league playing 165 games and dividing by 2 since two teams play each other each game, the number of baseballs used during a typical MLB season would about 113,850 balls per year.

According to MLB, between five and six dozen are used per game (60-70 balls).

The home team has to have 90 new baseballs on hand for each game. That doesn't mean they'll use them all, but they must have them, just in case.

The average life of the ball is 6 pitches. "According to Ensley, every major league game begins with six dozen balls. He goes on to explain that the average life of a ball is six pitches. Since most major league games average between 250 and 300 pitches, that would put the ball count at about 40 or 50 balls used per game".

According to the MLB: "It says between five and six dozen baseballs are used during each baseball game, as many as 72 balls."

Each ball costs about $3-dollars, so that works out to $216-dollars worth of balls for each baseball game.

The home team bats in the bottom of the inning.

The term ducks on the pond originated from a radio sports announcer for the Washington Senators named Arch McDonald. Among other quotes by Arch was "there it goes Mrs. Murphy" was meant a home run

When you say "football" I will assume you mean "soccer" since you are speaking the English language and in the home of the English language (England) the game that involves kicking a ball into two goals is called the correct term - football. Football is over 300 years old yet baseball isn't even older than 200 years in any form so clearly football is older.

No, the Little League rule book specifically prohibits this. In fact, it goes so far as to say the president can't resign his position and coach a tournament team in the same season.

Hold is a statistic for relief pitchers. It means the pitcher came into the game with his team in the lead and left the game with his team in the lead. In other words, the pitcher 'held' the lead for his team.

In Major League Baseball, the bases are 90' apart. The distance from home plate to the nearest fence is 250' or more.

There really is no need to wear a helmet if you're just watching. Foul balls do sometimes pop over fences, but most parks have nets and it is unlikely you will get hit by a ball.

If you are playing, it is necessary to wear a helmet while batting.

No money becasue they would just be the top winning team

A golf ball would be hit further, due to the law of the conservation of momentum. This law is one of the fundamental laws of nature, and states, "The total momentum of a closed system of objects is constant." This means that when two objects (like a bat and a ball) collide, the momentum of both objects before the collision and after the collision will be the same.

Momentum, by the way, is the amount of force a moving object has. Big objects that are moving fast have a lot of momentum. Small objects that are moving slow have very little momentum.

The equation for a collision of two objects goes like this:

(1/2)m1u12 + (1/2)m2u22 =(1/2)m1v12 + (1/2)m2v22

Let's work on this equation...

m1 = The mass of the baseball bat = 30 oz

u1 = The velocity of the baseball bat before the collision = 80 mph for a Major League player swing

m2 = The mass of the ball = 5 oz for a baseball, 1.6 oz for a golfball

u2 = The velocity of the ball before the collision = 0 mph

v1 = The velocity of the bat after the collision = 0 mph (not entirely accurate, but close enough for this model)

That leaves...

v2 = The velocity of the ball after the collision

v2 is what we want to find. Let's start plugging in numbers. First, for the baseball:

(1/2)m1u12 + (1/2)m2u22 =(1/2)m1v12 + (1/2)m2v22

(1/2)(30 oz)(80 mph)2 + (1/2)(5 oz)(0 mph)2 =(1/2)(30 oz)(0 mph)2 + (1/2)(5 oz)v22 (96000) + 0 = 0 + (2.5)(v2)2

96000 = 2.5(v2)2

96000 / 2.5 = v22

38400 = v22

v2 (The speed of the baseball after being hit) = 196 mph

Now, for the golf ball. The golf ball weighs less than the baseball, so to make both sides of the equation even, it will need to travel much faster after being hit.

(1/2)m1u12 + (1/2)m2u22 =(1/2)m1v12 + (1/2)m2v22

(1/2)(30 oz)(80 mph)2 + (1/2)(1.6 oz)(0 mph)2 =(1/2)(30 oz)(0 mph)2 + (1/2)(1.6 oz)v22 (96000) + 0 = 0 + (0.8)(v2)2

96000 = 0.8(v2)2

96000 / 0.8 = v22

120000 = v22

v2 (The speed of the golf ball after being hit) = 346 mph!

That's a big difference! And of course, the ball that is hit fastest will travel the furthest, assuming both balls were hit at the same angle.

Now, this is just a model. In real life, the balls or bats may weigh different, and the batters may swing fast or slow. Also, golf balls are much harder to hit than baseballs.

You can try an experiment at home that shows the law of conservation of momentum. Make sure you're outside first! Try putting a golf ball or tennis ball on top of a basketball or softball. Hold both balls at arms length, and drop them on the ground. The big ball will bounces just a little bit, but since it is big, it has a lot of momentum. When it hits the small ball, it will give that little ball all of its momentum, and the small ball will fly sky high!

History states that Ty Cobb fought several umpires during his career, none on the field of play. This was at a time when umpires were shown very little respect and it was not unusual for players to attempt to intimidate umpires on the field.

If players tried to do something like that in today's game they would be suspended immediately and probably for a very long time.

NO ... Spanish people come from Spain ... Alex Rodriguez is from the Dominican Republic and if you remember from your third grade text books the Dominican Republic and its neighboring Country (Haiti) are called Hispaniola which would make Alex Rodriguez Hispanic ...

When the umpire or TV announcer calls the ball and strike count, the balls come first. If you hear the announcer say something like "The count on the batter is 2 and 1" this means there are 2 balls and 1 strike.

HOPE I HELPED!!

^no that didn't ahahah :P

^

^umm well.. err... it didnt really help NOW BECAUSE OF YOU I GOT A F- IN SCHOOL >:O lol jk - unkown

i think that thats a big hellp alittle you should try to improve your answer move like you should say a little more than a sentence

Of course you can! When I was groing up it was only my brother and me so we created 2-man baseball. Here are the fundamentals.

1. One pitches and the other bats (no running bases at all).

2. All runners are "ghost runners"

3. 3 strikes is still an out.

4. If the ball is hit and the pitcher catches the ball clean before the pitchers mound it is an out.

5. If a ball is caught in the air it is still an out.

6. Passed the pitchers mound (or location) the players determine 3 more distance markers. Each marker determines whether the hit is a double, triple or homerun.

7. In order to hit a homerun, the ball has to land in the air passed the home run line (not rolling passed....pretend it is a fence) Or you can use an actual fence.

8. Ghost runners can only advance via a force. So if you have a ghost runner on second base and hit a double, you now have a runner on second base and the other runner advances by force to third.

9. You still have 3 outs per half inning.

This is basically a hitter verse pitcher game. So the object is to always strike out your opponent or cleanly field the ball.

This can be played with a wiffle ball and bat, a tennis ball and large dowel rod (they fly far) or my favorite a wiffle ball bat and what I call the aluminum ball of pain.

In order to create this ball...take a small wad of alluminum foil and wad it up as tight as possible into a small ball. Then take electrical tape and wrap it until you get the size of ball you want.

What is nice about this ball is that it flys as fast as a regular baseball, can be hit really far, has some weight and stings really bad if you get hit. So it is safer than a baseball, will not break windows, but still fun to play as teenage boys.

Hopefully this is a decent answer!

The New York Mets are third in the list of highest valued teams. They are worth $858 million in 2010. The Red Sox ($870 million) and Yankees ($1.6 billion) are the two above them.

The Mets were second in value last season, but were passed by Boston in 2010. The Mets dropped 6% in value from 2009, while Boston went up 4%. No team in the top ten other than the Mets dropped in value last season.

The Houston Astros and Kansas City Royals play west of the Mississippi River.
