The reds won the world series with Pete rose as a player in 1975 and 1976 however as a manager they never went to the playoffs with Pete although the nucleus of the 1990 world series team was mostly made up of players who were on the team when pete was suspended in 1986. however if you are asking if they won any games, of course. as a matter of fact pete rose was on more winning teams than any other player in baseball history.

Number 42 is retired by all major league baseball teams because, this was the number of Jackie Robinson. He was the first African-American to ever play mojor league baseball. Jackie went to collage at UCLA, he played baseball, football, basketball, and he ran track. At all four sports he was the best at the collage.

That is done to ensure that a winner can be crowned for the batting title. Someone may hit .359, someone else may hit .357. If the decimal point is not carried out to the thousandth, there would be a tie for the batting title. And if there is a tie for the batting title with the average rounded at thousandths, the average will be rounded at ten thousandths to see if that would determine a winner.

As of 2011, about 38 percent of the Major League Baseball players had played in college. Within the past 10 years, approximately 56 percent of the picks in the first round in the MLB draft are college players. Only about 10 percent of male college baseball players will get drafted.

There are a lot of do's and don'ts when doing this. First of all, DO NOT use any sort of metal polish or aluminum cleaner. This would work on older bats that are primarily bare metal and not painted. Also, do NOT use steel wool. This will scratch your bat faster than you can imagine.

What I have found to be highly effective is this: Get some Soft Scrub (without bleach) bath and kitchen cleaner (available at any grocery store). Get a 2-sided sponge (one with standard soft sponge side and one with the slightly coarse but not too rough side).

Dampen the sponge, and apply some soft scrub directly to the sponge. Then scrub the dirty areas of the bat. If you are using the soft sponge side, scrub vigorously. If you are using the coarse sponge side, scrub lightly. Scrub 1/4 to 1/2 the bat at a time.

Have a dry or slightly damp towel or rag handy to wipe off the dirt and residue that you just scrubbed off. DO NOT submerge your bat in water to rinse. If you have a 2-piece "composite" bat, there is always a slight chance water can enter at the joints and then begin to harm your bat from the inside.

In no time, you will have a sparkly clean bat. There is also a bonus of having your bat smell like lemons if you get the scented Soft Scrub.

It's kind of a confusing phrase, but it just means that each team playes each other once in each city. So, a home and home between the Indians and the Royals means that, playing against each other both times, they play one games (or series) in Cleveland and another in Kansas City. A simple concept with a confusing name!

The highest amount of runs the Cubs have scored in one game is 36. This occurred in 1897 against Louisville, who no longer fields a team.

On a ball hit on the ground to a right side infielder, that would be the shortstop. The shortstop would be running to the second base in such a way that they would be facing a throw from the first baseman, unlike the second baseman who would be running to the base and have their back to the first baseman.

On a ball hit to right field, in the ground or in the air, the shortstop would also be the player to cover second base as the second baseman would run into short right field to act as a cutoff.

A base on balls counts as a plate appearance but not as an at bat. A base on balls does not affect a batter's batting average.

Addendum: it also counts as a time on base, and figures into the batters on base percentage. As well, if the bases are loaded, and the batter is walked, it counts as an R.B.I. for the batter.

Ernie played for the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro Leagues in 1950. After spending the next two years in the United States Army, he returned to the Monarchs in 1953 and played with them until his contract was bought by the Chicago Cubs late in the season. Ernie played with the Cubs until he retired after the 1971 season.

Senior league baseball bats are big barrel bats. There Barrels are at least an inch larger than a regular little league baseball bat and are recommended for travel baseball.

Its hard to compare the income of professional baseball players and pro golfers since they earn money in different ways. Professional golfers earnings are determined by how well they play in each tournament (typically 4 rounds of golf). They don't have contracts that guarantee their earnings. They are paid on a week to week performance basis. Therefore, a pro golfer has to play in order to earn money. The better he plays, the more he makes.

Professional baseball players, however, sign contracts and make a salary and bonuses based on previous performance and/or future potential. They make a predetermined yearly salary and can sometimes earn more in performance bonuses. These days, top baseball players earn $25-35 Million a season. Whereas the top money winner on the PGA tour might make around $10 Million in a season.

Endorsements also play a factor. In some of Tiger Woods' top years he only earned about $10-12 Million from actually playing golf. When you include endorsements though, he made well over $100 million those years.

There are many people who have been hit in the head by a baseball. These people will say it hurt.

it depends on what country you live in. Americans like baseball but loads of british and australians like cricket.

Its your decision if you like baseball then you like baseball but if you prefer cricket then you like cricket more than baseball.

OFcourse cricket

2nd most wanted game in the world after football.

The New York Yankees current team captain is Derek Jeter.

Billy Hamilton of the Philadelphia Phillies scored 196 runs in 1894.

If you're asking about cricket, and English cricket in particular, the player who scored the most runs in a first class season is Denis Compton.

In 1947 Compton scored 3 816 runs for Middlesex, in 50 innings, with a high score of 246; 18 centuries; and 8 not outs at an average of 90.85. He was a chinaman bowler and played in 78 tests for England.

He also played football for Arsenal, winning the English league in 1948, and the FA cup in 1950.

The second highest number of runs in one season is 3 539 scored by Bill Edrich also for Middlesex, and also in 1947.

There is no height requirement for major league baseball players. I will add this observation though. Generally speaking most scouts recommend pitchers and first basemen to be 6 feet tall. There are exception's to this of course.

There is no set distance from home plate to the shortstop, because the shortstop doesn't have to stand in any specific spot. He can move forward for a bunt, shift left or right, or even position himself near the outfield depending on who is at bat.

Most professional baseball players use wood bats because metal bats are very easy to hit a home run with and most pros love the challenge behind wood bats. MLB rules dictate that players use wooden bats.

Ok, soo a good softball speed for 12-13 is 50 mph the really good pitchers throw around 55. When you turn 16-17 your goal should be 55 mph. Collage is high 60 to low 70. I think high school the really good pitchers will throw around the 60 mph.

The length for a pitcher's mound in the Majors is 60 feet 6 inches.

But in the Little League the length is 46 feet.
