Baseball

The Mets play in CitiField, in Queens, New York. In 2009 they moved into Citi Field, a new stadium across the street from Shea Stadium, the former stadium

Chase Field has a retractable roof, so technically yes. The Arizona Diamondbacks have played in Chase Field since 1998. The stadium was the built from 1996-98 and is the first stadium built in the US with a retractable roof.

The first batter in either the top or the bottom of an inning hits a home run. By definition, this is a one-run homer, because it is impossible for any runner to be on base when the first batter comes up.

The Milwaukee Brewers got their name because of the number of breweries that were in the city. Some of those breweries at the time were Miller, Schlitz, Pabst, among others. These breweries employed thousands of workers and the Milwaukee baseball team nickname is a homage to those companies and workers.

The nickname was originally used at the turn of the 20th Century by the city's minor league teams in the American Association and the Western League.

er stands for error

Nope, "er" stands for earned runs.

Yea , tape a wooden baseball bat because it gives you a more firm grip and control of the bat. I would tape it the criss-cross style. If you don't know how to do that , then I'll tell you right now. First , get about a 2 foot long piece of tape (do not rip it off the roll of tape). Wrap it around the top of the nob. then twist the tape roll so the piece of tape you stretched off becomes a line and firm. Now wrap it around the bat down the bat like a spiral. Then roll the acess tape you had around the bottom and rip it off. Now , do the process again but from the bottom up not from up to down. Then just wrap it from the top like a regular bat. I hope this helped.

I think this question is a matter of personal interpretation, however... For a pitcher, typically the ERA, or Earned Run Average, is the given the first look. The ERA corresponds to the number of earned runs given up based upon a complete nine inning game. Every run that scores though is not necessarily considered "earned". For example, if a batter reaches base on a fielding error, that base runner, if he scores, is not counted against the pitcher as an earned run. For a batter, typically the BA, or batting average, is given the most weight. Batting average is simply calculated by taking the number of hits divided by the number of at bats. Again, like the ERA, not every "appearance" is considered an at bat. As an example, if a batter walks, it is not counted as an at bat for that hitter.

The distance between every single base in softball is 60 feet. The distance to the pitcher's mound from home is either 40 or 43 feet depending on what level you are playing at. The outfield depth varies from field to field.

In Major League Baseball, yes. There is a rule called the 'Uncaught Third Strike' rule. This rule states that if the catcher does not cleanly catch the pitched ball that results in a third strike, the batter may run to first base as if the ball were hit. If the batter reaches first base before the ball, the batter is awarded the base.

About $1400 if you have the right equipment

No. The two championship series are the best 4 out of 7 games. When one of the teams wins 4 games, the series is over. If one team wins the first four games in a row, then only four games are played.

In 1993, Mike Anderson pitched in 3 games for the Cincinnati Reds, with an ERA of 18.56. He started 0 games and finished 0, pitching no complete games. He threw no shutouts and recorded no saves, ending up with 0 wins and 0 losses.

He pitched a total of 16 outs, facing 30 batters. He gave up 12 hits and 11 earned runs, including 3 home runs. He struck out 4 batters and walked 3.

If you are throwing in the cold wear plenty of layers and keep your arm warm. If your throw with just a T shirt on you'll pull several muscles in your arm and shoulders. Another was is to not throw so fast that throw your arm out. Before each game ice and heat it up. Use icey hot for example.

Managers for the All Star game are the managers of the two teams that played in the World Series the season before. For the 2008 all star game, Terry Francona of the Red Sox will be the AL manager and Clint Hurdle of the Colorado Rockies will be the NL manager.

There is no limit to the number of extra innings in a baseball game. The game should continue until an inning ends with one team in the lead. Games have been stopped due to various reasons including curfew and darkness (more common before stadiums had lights). These games are generally resumed at a later date, though just as with games postponed due to rain or other causes, sometimes a postponed game is never resumed. The longest professional game was 33 innings, between the triple-A teams the Pawtuck Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings on April 18, 1981. The longest Major League Baseball game was 26 innings, between the Boston Braves and the Brooklyn Dodgers, on May 1, 1920. The game was called due to darkness, and was never resumed (sort of like the Boston Braves and the Brooklyn Dodgers would be decades later).

A pitch is a throw. If you mean field or diamond it depends on what age group. Major league fields can go from about 200 ft from home plate to center field fence to 400 ft. It all depends on the which field.

It all depends on the rules and regulations that your team plays on. Also, at higher levels, there is no run rule until the ninth inning

Since interleague play began in 1997, the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants have played 110 times through the 2016 season. The A's have the edge over their Bay Area rivals in the wins department, 57 to 53. If you count World Series matches between the two franchises, then the A's lead the Giants in overall wins, 66 to 59. The New York Giants defeated the Philadelphia Athletics in the 1905 World Series, four games to one. In 1911, Philadelphia won the world championship by defeating New York four games to two. In 1989, Oakland swept San Francisco four games to none in a World Series delayed by an earthquake in the Bay Area.

The Mariners entered the American League in 1977, the same year as the Toronto Blue Jays.

If the ball by rule is a fair ball, the runner must reach 1st base before he/she is put out. If the ball by rule is a foul ball, it is a strike. There are other rules regarding bunts, interference, and so on, but basically that's it.

All 10 defensive players are allowed to wear and field the ball with a fielders 'glove'. Two defensive players are allowed to wear a 'mitt', but are not required to wear a mitt. They are the 1st Baseman, and the Catcher.

Any defensive player using a mitt illegally will not be able to execute or contribute to an out.

When fielding a batted ball, the fielder should place themselves directly in the path of the ball, shoulders should be perpendicular to the path of the ball. The fielders back should be straight, knees bent, center of balance low, (the area of the navel) the glove should be on the ground, palm up, back straight.

No, they do not HAVE to wear them, but you will find most of them like wearing them, and they are also written into sponsorship contracts that players must wear them, for advertising purposes.
