Baseball

The Chicago Cubs were originally called the Chicago White Stockings when the National League first formed in 1876. They later were called the Colts and the Orphans before becoming the Cubs in 1901--the first year of the American League, which had as one of it's teams, the Chicago White Sox.

David Ross currently wears number 8. He is one of the back up catchers.

it is the most expensive gloves in the philipines

Cap Anson died April 14, 1922, in Chicago, IL, USA.

If the regular season ends and two teams have the same record and are tied for the Wild Card, they go to a one game playoff, where the winner advances into the post season and the loser is eliminated from the playoffs.

A golf ball would bounce far higher than a baseball. This is because a golf ball has been specifically designed to harness the energy it receives and get the most from it. Imagine how far a golf ball would go if you hit it with a baseball bat- pretty far, and how far a baseball would go if you hit it with a golf club-virtually no where.

It depends on your skill and what you are good at doing i think on of the hardest positions are catcher and pitcher but that's my opiniond it can vary from person to person but i would say that the best position would have to be anything in the infield but the best would have to be 2nd or 3rd i would say 2nd though.

Dustan Mohr debuted on August 29, 2001, playing for the Minnesota Twins at Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome; he played his final game on July 8, 2007, playing for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at Tropicana Field.

Currently that position is taken by Chris Davis.

Faster

From home to first, first to second, etc.. the distance between bases is 90 feet. All the way around is 360 feet.

But if you're asking what the distance is around a whole baseball field, each field is different. Some have much bigger fields than others. The only thing that is the same is the infield.

The most famous number 6 of all time was Stan "The Man" Musial, who played 22 seasons with The St. Louis Cardinals and is considered one of Baseball's greatest stars.

Another notable number 6 was Al Kaline of the Detroit Tigers, who played 21 seasons with the club en route to a Hall Of Fame career.

A few other notable stars wore the number very briefly (1 year, 2 at the most) and include Mickey Mantle, Rogers Hornsby, Jim Thome, Al Simmons, Joe Cronin and Kenny Lofton

Some more notable players who wore this number for significant periods of time include Sal Bando, Joe Gordon, Stan Hack, Tony Lazzeri, Roy White, Willie Wilson, Tony Oliva, Rico Petrocelli, Paul Blair, Steve Garvey, Ron Fairly, Carl Furillo, Johnny Pesky, Clete Boyer and Tony Pena among others

A batter that can hit right handed and left handed is called a switch hitter.

The record for most strikeouts in a nine-inning game by a minor league pitcher was set by Ron Necciai, who struck out 27 batters in a Class-D game between the Appalachian League Bristol Twins and the Welsh Miners (May 13, 1952).

Roberto Clemente, Thurman Munson, Cory Lidle, Ken Hubbs ...

As of 2009 Manny Ramirez hit 546 career home runs.

They became the Twins in 1961.

Before that they were originaly the Washington Senators.

A baseball player makes more money then a basketball player... most money payed for a baseball player right now is 30.5 mill for Alex Rodriguez. Most for a basketball player this year(2007-08) is 21 mill for Kevin Garnet!

You can learn to be a team player, learn discipline, learn that you should never give up on yourself, because even if you strike out 3 times in a game the 4th time up you can get a hit that helps win a game. Life is like a baseball season, you can have your good days and your bad days, but it is the long run that matters.

In 1901 Connie Mack and his Philadelphia Athletics became one of the original founders of the American League. In 1902 New York Giants Manager John McGraw dismissed the A's with contempt, by calling them "The White Elephants." He meant to imply that Mack shouldn't be allowed to spend money without supervision. Well, Connie Mack took up the gauntlet and defiantly adopted the White Elephant as the team insignia. That year, 1902, the A's won the American League pennant -- much to the unvoiced chagrin of John McGraw. This is from the A's history page.... To be simple... It's the Oakland Athletics' oldest logo.
