Besides goalies, most players prefer not to wear cups because of restriction while running and they can be uncomfortable. They are not required but it's a good idea to do so.

I strongely suggest that you where a cup. when you do get hit there you wont regret it.

Only guys wear cups, girls, well you know, they don't really need them

But chest protectors, gloves, helments and elbow pads are mandatory.

--Depends on if youre playing HS lax or club. Most HS requirements have a cup as a Mandatory piece of equipment.

New York has 3 hockey teams: The New York Islanders, The New York Rangers and The Buffalo Sabres.

I would not say that a manager should wear a uniform but a manager should look professional. For example, I like my managers to wear suits. The shirt with a collar and tie combination always exudes professionalism. However, this must be career appropriate. I would not have my management staff wearing a uniform such as the Best Buy's floor management or the McDonalds style shift manager's uniform.

In essence you must first look at your demographic. See to whom your managers will be representing themselves and ask if it is appropriate for your staff to wear a uniform, business casual, or business formal apparel. Then look to your employees. Ask what type of representation do you wish for them to see via your management staff. Then decide what you want your managers to wear.

The Rawlings Mickey Mantle "Triple Crown Winner" MM9 pro design, Youth size glove is worth about $35.-$50. in excellent- near/mint condition. A glove in mint condition could sell for more.

Condition is important. Common flaws with baseball gloves are: loose or broken lacing/webbing, dry or cracking leather, ripped manufacturer label on back, worn printing on glove, and owners name hand written on it. any of these flaws will lower the value on the glove. See Releated Links below, for picture, and more information.

Joe's 1951 salary was reported at $100.000 ... that is the same salary he made in 1949 and 1950.

Breaking Babe Ruth's home run record would have to be at the top.

According to the ESPN broadcast of Strasburg's major league debut, his fastball was recorded as high as 101 mph.

No, if you touch first base with the bat in your hands you are out.

The above answer is wrong. There is no rule covering this. A runner can carry the bat all the way around the bases without violating a rule.

Where do you people get your knowledge?

A point in the game of baseball is called a "run".

"wood is harder than medal."

Is a incorrect answer the metal is actually harder and that is the reason the MLB does not use metal bats because they propel the ball at a significantly faster speed.

After ten terrible seasons, the Devil Rays' management decided to shake up their image. Before the 2008 season they changed their logo, name, and team colors. They considered completely different names such as the Wave and the Thunder but decided for a softer break from the past, keeping the name that had been used as a short form of their name, while changing the focus and interpretation from scary looking fish with satanic name to something connoting sunshine and light.

In their first season with their new name, the Rays won the American League pennant. However the new name, and even the team's new success, did not bring significant numbers of extra fans to the game, as the two Florida teams remain among the least supported teams in Major League Baseball.

It depends on position, but a 7 flat is about average. D1 middle infielders will run a 6.8 as well as non power hitting outfielders. Catchers will run anything from 7 to 7.2 as well as corner infielders.

Based on the official MLB pitching distance of 60' 6" .. it takes .5 seconds for a 100 mph fastball to reach home plate.

However, in reality, if the baseball is thrown by a person, it actually reaches the plates quicker because most MLB pitchers are 6'+ and there stride towards home plate will have them releasing the baseball closer than 60' 6".

Two: The Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers.

MLB has no time curfew, umpires, however, can call the game if they feel it is not reasonable to start or finish a game that day/night, due to weather. If a game is already started and in extra innings it will continue until the game is completed

Baseball players were wearing metal cleats at least as early as the Civil War, before the National League was even formed. There were many local baseball clubs, especially in the Northeast, but few organized leagues, and even fewer baseball documents survive from those times. It is unknown who first wore metal cleats.

Frank Chance was the player/manager of the Cubs that defeated the Tigers in both the 1907 and 1908 World Series ... he also played first base.

Chance was player/manager of the Cubs between 1905-1912 and also led the team to the 1906 and 1912 World Series that they lost (1906 to the White Sox and 1912 to the Red Sox). He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1946.

There is nothing I have found in the MLB rules that would prohibit a pitcher from a pitching motion similar to that of a softball pitcher. Actually, the underhanded motion was the rule when Alexander Cartwright came up with the rules of baseball in 1845. I have included a link, named 'MLB Rule 8', to the MLB rules concerning the pitcher on this page.
