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.

When did the White Sox team form?
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.

How many balls does an umpire rub and where does the mud come from?
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"

Do professional baseball players get new uniforms each game or are they washed and reworn?
Each player is assigned a number of home and away uniforms per season. They are polyester and get pretty well worked. They are washed by their respective team's staff. They can, however, get a new uniform whenever they request one. Especially when they donate signed game jerseys to charities and giveaways and such. Also, most MLB uniforms change slightly each year. I would guess an average major leaguer goes through a hundred uniforms in a career. Give or take.
Yes. A home run is a base hit just like a single or double or triple is.
