Generally speaking a catcher throws back to the pitcher, each pitch he catches. This throw however, is a direct, straight one, but has a velocity 75 miles per hour or less. The catcher's most throws travel a short distance to the pitcher who stands 50 feet 7 inches away ( generally ) However, often times a catcher is involved in a "live" throw which is thrown to stop a base-runner from stealing base, or the catcher is throwing the ball to one of his fellow players in an ongoing play that requires him to throw with accuracy and good speed. In such situations, the catcher may throw a baseball anywhere between 75 to 85 miles per hour.

The answer is Zack Hample, who has over 3,000 that I know of. He may have more now, but last I heard it was over 3,000. He has written two books, last I heard, and for more information about him, here's a link to his website:

Some of the players that have admitted to using performance enhancing substances have issued some sort of apology or admission that what they did was wrong.

Alex Rodriguez said "I was young, I was stupid, I was naive and I wanted to prove to everyone that I was worth, you know, being one of the greatest players of all time. And I did take a banned substance. For that, I'm very sorry and deeply regretful. And although it was the culture back then in major league baseball overall ... it was very ... I just feel that ... I'm just sorry. I'm sorry for that time, I'm sorry to my fans, I'm sorry to my fans in Texas."

Jason Giambi said "I was wrong for doing that stuff. What we should have done a long time ago was stand up ... players, ownership, everybody ... and said: 'We made a mistake.' We should have apologized back then and made sure we had a rule in place and gone forward. ... Steroids and all of that was a part of history. But it was a topic that everybody wanted to avoid. Nobody wanted to talk about it."

I only know that tee-ball is three but i also think that it goes the same for soft ball and baseball

In 1960, both the American and National leagues still had eight teams, and both leagues played 154 game schedules

The ball is dead whenever the umpire calls "time", whenever it goes out of play, when it becomes a foul ball, whenever a pitch hits a batter, or whenever a batted ball hits a runner (and a few other circumstances). It doesn't matter whether the pitcher has it or not. On the other hand, it can't be put back _in play_ until the pitcher has it and is on the rubber.

162 unless there's a tie for first and neither team could win the wild card.then it would be 163 if there are two teams tied for first.(not including playoffs)

As of the 2013 season, the last MLB pitcher to win 30+ games in a season was Denny McLain of the Detroit Tigers who went 31-6 in 1968.

Tap on the runner that's on the base. He'll disappear when you've done this successfully, meaning that he is stealing.

Willie Stargell debuted on September 16, 1962, playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field; he played his final game on October 3, 1982, playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium.

Jair Jurrjens debuted on August 15, 2007, playing for the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park; he played his final game on June 29, 2013, playing for the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

Henry Aaron and Edwin Matthews for the Braves combined for 1267 round trippers while in the same line-up.

Babe Ruth and Lou Gherig are second 200 behind with 1067.

Mantle and Maris combined for the single SEASON high only.

Actually, Marhews and Aaron hit 863 homers AS TEAMMATES with the Braves, and Ruth and Gehrig are second with 859 with the Yankees

The Yankees first used numbers on their jerseys to reflect their batting order. I don't know exactly when they started, probably during the Gehrig/Ruth years.

According to Baseball Almanac.com, the Indians were the first to use numbers. They were experimenting with numbers and on 16 April, 1929 played the first game with numbers added. The Yankees had added numbers permanently but had been rained out a couple of times, so the Indians beat them to the punch. The Yankees also played the same day, but I guess the Indians game was earlier.

The NY Yankess put numbers on their jerseys reflectong the batting order. This put numbers in order to indentify each player so that the fans sitting far away would see the Babe. Ruth is the reason we have numbers today. Please check out Ken Burns' baseball to find out more.

Here are a few key dates in the evolution of uniform numbers:

* 1907: The Reading Red Roses are the first team to experiment with uniform numbers. * 1916: The Cleveland Indians are the first major league team to experiment with uniform numbers. On June 26, they wear numbers on the left sleeve. The project lasts only a few weeks. * 1917: Indians try again, this time with the numbers on the right sleeve. Again, they abandon them after a brief trial. * 1923: The St. Louis Cardinals try numbers on the sleeves. It is short-lived. * 1929: The Yankees and Indians wear numbers on the backs of their jerseys. * 1932: NL president John Heydler issues an edict on June 22 that all NL teams should number their players "With each club to inaugurate the system as soon as possible." * 1937: The Philadelphia A's become the last team to add numbers to their home uniforms. The team, and the rest of the AL, had added numbers to their road shirts in 1931.

Sac stands for sacrifice bunt.

Because the bulk of their roster comes from the signing of aging and overpriced free agents. To win baseball games, you need to trade wissely and develop talent through a farm system. (See: Tampa Bay Rays)

It depends on how the game is being played. Most of the time, foul balls don't count as a strike; you can hit a ton of foul balls while you're up to bat and it won't matter. If you're playing a strict game of baseball, though, if you go up to bat and hit two foul balls, they count as strikes. Then, if you miss the ball or whatever, that would be your third strike. And you're out. :)

Foul balls count as strikes when every the batter does not have two strikes, once a batter gets two strikes foul balls are no longer counted as strikes.

Less than 25 cents.

Yes, in many cases you can wear compression shorts instead of a jock. But it depends on what it is your doing. Compression shorts do not give much support at all compared to a jock. They don't hold your "equipment" UP.
