Baseball

The anytime, anyplace way to play:

1. a ball (doesn't have to be a baseball--no glove(s)? use a tennis ball)

2. a bat (a broomstick will do or any other stick for that matter--about 2.5 to 3 feet in length)

3. 4 bases and a pitching 'mound' -- bases can be just about anything and the 'mound' is the agreed upon spot to pitch from.

4. at least 2 players (you can use as many invisible runners as you need)

5. something to serve as a backstop if you don't want to be constantly chasing the ball.

The official way:

1. a baseball field: 90' between bases, pitching mound no more than 10" above the level of home plate with the rubber 60' 6" away (measured from the back of home plate to the front of the pitching rubber or 'plate'). Home plate dimensions: 17" wide, 17" deep, 8.5" straight, 12" angled--no depth specified, but must be level with the ground. Base dimensions: 15" square, no less than 3" but no more than 5" tall, filled with soft material. Pitching rubber dimensions: 6" inches wide by 24" long--no depth specified.

2. 18 players, 9 per side.

3. at least one umpire not associated with either team. three is better.

4. at least one baseball between 5 & 5 1/4" in circumference and weighing between 9 and 9 1/4 ounces.

5. Baseball mitts all around.

6. Baseball uniforms all around.

7. Catcher's equipment for each catcher (shin guards, chest protector, catcher's mask and helmet, and a catcher's mitt).

8. At least 1 bat

9. Last, but certainly not least everybody needs an athletic supporter and cup!

There are many, many more rules dictating the specifications for everything from uniforms and mitts to other field dimensions (foul lines, grass lines, etc) and pitching mechanics like what constitutes a 'balk.' If you are interested in the official rules I encourage you to head on over to MLB.com to check them out.

I totally agree, but you can play with less people if you cant get all 18, i played a cracking game with 14 people, more fun than the 18 people!!

A Little skill can't hurt either ...

When a fast ball and curve ball are mixed together it is called a slider.

It has to be caught it-the-air first. "Dropped Third Strike" is a misleading term. It should be called the "Uncaught Third Strike". So, if the ball touches the dirt before reaching the catcher, it is indeed a dropped third strike.

Yes in a form. It can not be literaly -20mph but in deceleration it is. when you slow down a car to a stop that is negative volocity. and volacity is speed+direction. ex: 30mph east. so if your travaling 20mph west then slow to a stop it changes to -20mph west. (until you start going east) but because volacity is a messure of speed then yes it is possible. but not like when approching the speed of light when time slows down, if you go slower than it by so much then it speeds up. (because the speed cant be that form and has to be in directiog)

If you mean Hank Aaron, out of seven siblings I only found Tommie, who played in the league with Hank. http://www.thebaseballpage.com/players/aaronha01.php

In baseball which includes Major League Baseball, striking out looking means the batter has two strikes on his as the counter and he takes a third strike without swiging the bat therefore he struck out looking because he struck out while looking at the pitched ball.

With the election of Goose Gossage in 2008, there are now 286 electees in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Of those 286, 228 were elected as players, 19 were elected as managers, 8 were elected as umpires, and 31 were elected as owners or executives. Click on the 'Baseball Hall of Fame' link below to see a list of those in the Hall.

this question does not say which Hall of Fame ...

All I got is:

1: in 1920, Ray Chapman died of being struck in the head

2: in 1947, Negro League mega utimate high-average hitting slugger Josh Gibson died of brain tumor at age 35.

3:Ed Delahanty died in 1903 while plunging in the Niagara River

4: in early 2009 Nick Adenhart got killed in a car crash

5: Ken Caminiti died on Oct. 10, 2004 due to steroid use.

P.S.: If you find anymore, improve this answer, BUT KEEP THIS LINE. THERE MAY BE MORE AND MORE ANSWERS!!!!

Wrong. A player can also reach first base by fielder's choice. There are actually 12 ways for a batter to reach first base. They are listed in Rules 6.08 and 6.09 of the Official Baseball Rules. Many of those listed in Rule 6.09 involve base hits, so if Hits is one way, there are really only 7 ways to reach first: 1. Base hit, including home runs, ground rule doubles, etc. 2. Base on Balls 3. Hit by pitched ball 4. Fielder's error 5. Fielder's interferrance (including catcher interferrance) 6. Strike out followed by passed ball or wild pitch 7. Batted ball that passes a fielder and hits an Umpire.

At present I do not know of any professional women's leagues. There are many women's leagues around the country but they would not be considered professional. There was a professional women's league in the United States that was in existence between 1943-1954 and was called the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. If you click on the 'All-American Girls Professional Baseball League' link on this page you can read about the history of women's professional baseball.

Boston Red Sox left fielder Carl Yastrzemski won the Triple Crown in 1967. Yaz hit 326 with 44 home runs and 121 runs batted in. Frank Robinson won the Triple Crown the year before. The Triple Crown has been achieved 13 times in the "Modern Era" (since 1900), and twice before. Rogers Hornsby and Ted Williams are the only men to do it twice. People also refer to the "Pitcher's Triple Crown" if a pitcher leads the league in wins, strikeouts, and ERA. This has been more common, most recently achieved by the Twins' Johan Santana in 2006.

The Arizona Cardinals team colors are Red and White.

Third base in relationship terms means blowjob (fellatio), handjob (a female masturbating a male) and poking (inserting fingers into vagina).

What each "base" means is often debated by many different people.

Sanders was a member of the San Francisco 49ers that won Super Bowl XXIX and the Dallas Cowboys that won Super Bowl XXX.

Pine tar is very sticky and allows the batter to get a better grip of the bat when they use it on their batting gloves.

The Chicago White Sox team was enfranchised in 1894. However, they were known as the Sioux City Corn Huskers at that time. They later moved to St. Paul and finally settled on Chicago's South Side in 1900. The team was owned by Charles A. Comiskey who was the first baseman in his home town, Chicago. In 1900 the old American League formed, and Comiskey changed the team name to White Stockings. The White Stockings team was first managed by Clark C. Griffith, who nicknamed his players "Boy Wonders," and his team lived up to that name. That year, the White Sox won the American League Pennant.

The American League (a minor League up to that point) declared itself part of the Major Leagues in 1901 and the White Stockings won the very first A.L. Pennant..

Chicago Tribune Sports Writers immediately began calling the White Stockings the White Sox for short. The organization OFFICIALLY changed the name to White Sox before the 1904 season, making the Chicago White Sox the FIRST Sox team, as the Red Sox were known as the Boston Americans until 1908.

Hank Aaron made his major league debut in 1954 with the Milwaukee Braves at the age of 20. He suffered a broken ankle, but still played in 122 games, 116 in the outfield, hit .280 and belted 13 home runs.

There were 24 teams in MLB in 1970: NL East - Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago Cubs, New York Mets, St Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, Montreal Expos NL West - Cincinnati Reds, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants, Houston Astros, Atlanta Braves, San Diego Padres AL East - Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians, Washington Senators AL West - Minnesota Twins, Oakland Athletics, California Angels, Kansas City Royals, Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago White Sox

The mud originates from a secret location on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River. Only the company's current owner, Jim Blintiff (a descendant of Blackburne), is privy to the information.The mud is cleaned and screened, and a secret ingredient is added to it before sale. Each year, Blintiff visits the mud's secret location, and returns with 1,000 pounds of it to store over the winter, until he sells it the following baseball season. Before all major and minor league games, an umpire rubs six or more dozen balls with the Baseball Rubbing Mud to give them a rougher surface, making them easier for pitchers to grip. The rubbing mud's unique feature is that it is "very fine, like thick chocolate pudding", and it has been considered the "perfect baseball-rubbing mud"
