The golf swing is a series of interconnected body and muscle motions. Most people do not realize that the "OBJECT" of playing golf IS NOT, I repeat IS NOT, to hit the golf ball. The object is to make a golf swing....a golf swing that repeats. Then, it is the golfer's task to make those minor adjustments to that the golf ball lies on the exact path that the golfer is swinging on.

This is why MOST golfers play poorly and fail to improve. They try to hit the ball.

The backswing creates a position. The golfer coils up into a powerful position HOWEVER, the golfer should remain as releaxed as possible. This allows the hands to swing the grip, or the "handle" of the club, the fastest through to swing completion.

The backswing creates energy. The downswing unleashes it. Maximum clubhead speed should be achieved at impact when the ball is struck.

Since the golfer is making a GOLF SWING, it is essential that he or she have a follow through to finish. Otherwise, the golf club would be slowing down at impact; distance would be lost, and the golfer would be far too inconsistent.

The golf swing is merely a series of levers made up by the shoulders, hands, and the golf club that achieve maximum speed through centrifugal force.

Think of the golf swing as a bungee cord. When someone jumps on a bungee, they hit bottom and then come flying back up because of MOMENTUM. They don't just fall to the bottom and stop.

Golfers have a follow through because of momentum of the golf club literally swinging them if they are doing it correctly.

The Tampa Bay Rays stadium in St Petersburg, FL is known as Tropicana Field, or "The Trop" for short.

There is an independent pro team named Na Koa Ikaika Maui that plays in Wailuku, Maui. They play in the North American Baseball League and are not affiliated with any MLB team.

There was a team, the Hawaii Islanders, that played class AAA ball in the Pacific Coast League and were affiliated with several MLB teams. They played in Honolulu between 1961-1987 and moved after the 87 season to Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The University of Hawaii fields a baseball team and plays in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).

well the most popular ones are retired by the mlb but the most popular number would maybe be 8 or 21

If a game is tied at the end of regulation innings (9 innings in the MLB), the game will continue for as many innings as necessary until there is a winner. However, local leagues may set maximum innings or time limits.

When batting you need to have the batting stance. Elbows out, not to your side, non-dominant arm's elbow pointed at the pitcher. You should also be leaning backward on your dominant foot. You should also be horizontal to the pitcher. Afterthat, when the ball is in your sight and is out of the pitcher's hand, slide your dominant foot towards the pitcher, swing the bat and follow through. In offensive positions you usually have one foot on the base and one stepping off. You should be looking at the pitcher or batter and most of the time the catcher. Also, knees bent and hands on your knees can be very affective to get you ready to run.

It can either stand for Wild Pitch or Winning Pitcher.

He speaks both spanish and English. He is still learning to speak English but he is making good progress. However, it is still somewhat difficult to understand a select group of words he speaks.

On June 28, 2007, Craig Biggio became the first player to collect five hits in the same game in which he reached the 3,000-hit mark. Biggio lined a single in the seventh inning to reach the magical plateau.

Every major league baseball home team plays "God Bless America" during the traditional seventh-inning stretch. The tradition began after the September 11 attacks in New York in 2001. Some teams also play "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" as well.

I think it happened during the gas shortage at the end of the 70's. Public outcry of wasting gas

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!!!!
