Do bat weights help you hit the ball further?
Yes.
The higher drop weight means the bat is light in relation to the length of the bat. But you must make sure that the bat is not too long for you since using a bat that is too long can make it harder to swing. When choosing a bat the length is just as important as the weight.
Who is the only MLB pitcher two pitch 2 no-hitters in a row?
As of 2009, there have been 17 perfect games in MLB history; all of them by different pitchers. A perfect game occurs when a pitcher retires all 27 batters without allowing anyone on base for any reason at all.
No-hitters are a bit more common. Since 1875, there have been 256 no-hitters in the MLB. A no-hitter is different from a perfect game. Errors, walks, hit batters, and fielder's choices can occur. As long as nothing is recorded as an official hit, the no-hitter remains intact.
Great answer. The finest perfect game was probably the only one thrown in a World Series, the 1956 gem tossed by Don Larsen of the New York Yankees against a very talent-laden Brooklyn Dodgers team that included sluggers Duke Snider, Carl Furillo, Jackie Robinson and Gil Hodges.
The greatest pitching feat is arguably the back-to-back no-hitters thrown by Johnny van der Meer in 1939 (I think), though they weren't exactly the finest no hitters. Van der Meer didn't have the greatest control and so walked a number of batters enroute to his record making achievement.

How come baseball teams do not have cheerleaders in little skimpy outfits?
Basically, because there is no need to. In football and basketball, there are regular and extneded breaks in the action. During these times, the fans may lose interest in the game, therefore cheerleaders are on to maintain that interest. Baseball, however is almost all action. Between innings, however there is usually something going on in the ballpark to maintain that interest.
Some minor league teams do. I used to love sitting right by the home team dugout of the El Paso Diablos. That's where the Diamond girls would do their thing. But I'm kinda a perv that way.
All action?!? 5-8 hours for a game? All action? I'm new to the game but 70 mins of hurling is all all action esp Kilkenny v Tipperary All Ireland semi in 2002 or Cork v Wexford semi 2003 were all action. Baseball is a good game but hardly all action. Look at www.gaa.ie or www.hoganstand.com for some news. Tom Hogan was a footballer shot by the British on Bloody Sunday in Croke Park in 1922. Croke Park is a 82,000 capacity stadium, all for an amateur organisation.
Baseball simply has a different rhythm to it than football and basketball do. In football and basketball, the cheerleaders serve to work the crowd up, which in turn inspires the players to play with more spirit and energy. Baseball, on the other hand, depends on precision and focus, with plays that are short and discrete in nature, as opposed to the continuous action of football and basketball. Cheerleaders wouldn't really help a whole lot.
Does a batter get a RBI on a wild pitch?
Good question. The only thing that would be close to a WILD PITCH RBI would be if the batter swung at the pitch for a third strike, which of course the catcher couldn't catch. There would have to be a runner on third, and the batter would have to be safe at first on the dropped third strike rule. I do not believe that this would truly be an RBI though, because technically, a dropped third strike is like a walk, the batter is not credited with a hit.

What is the average weight of a professionsl shortstop baseball player?
A (gridiron) football helmet typically weighs between two and four kilograms (four to eight pounds) according to various gridiron helmet manufacturers.
In this weight is included the face masks which are compulsory at all levels of organised gridiron football. The face mask can account for as much as half of the total mass of a gridiron football helmet, but more typically accounts for around a third of the total.
On average, gridiron football helmets are the heaviest form of head protection apart from helmets for such purposes as deep-sea diving. This is because of the thick shells necessary to absorb the energy of the impact such that the headform acceleration exceeds 300g. The shell must also resist penetration of a falling 60 degree conical anvil with specific dimension.

Not heavy lifting. The best way is with light weight and lots of reps. This increases the fast twitch fibers in your muscles used in quick explosive movements rather that slow twitch fibers which are used in heavy brute lifting. Also, isometric, the best is long toss. Hope this helps.

Why do baseball bats have a concave end cap?
Aerodynamic drag is a force that resists the swinging force. The magnitude of the drag force depends in part upon how fast the bat is swung or, more precisely, upon the relative speed of the bat through the air. The drag force has twocomponents. One component is known as "pressure drag" or "form drag." Pressure drag is caused by the pressure difference between the front or leading end of an object and the rear or trailing end of the object as that object is moved through the air. The magnitude of the pressure drag depends primarily upon the size and shape of the object, as well as the velocity of the object. A blunt object, such as a cylinder, will incur more pressure drag than a streamlined object, such as an airfoil.
