When did major league baseball first start using player numbers?

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.

From the website: http://www.all-baseball.com/ref/retired.HTML

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.

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)

Is foul ball counted as a strike?

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.

Is it important to wear a jockstrap?

Can you continue to play sports with Osgood-Schlatter?

I have osgood-shlatter myself and in 6th grade. It does hurt, and if your a football geek (like myself) it is probably hard to get away from that. I'd suggest resting, no sports. My doctor said that I have to just rest and no sports. I want to be in pediatrics some day, so having this knee pain is a good bad experiance.

A:A:

Me too, but, im a geek in ALL sports. Im a girl though, and i researched my problem and it said boys get it more often. My brother got it from my dad, and i got it from my brother. SOCCER is the best sport, but also makes it much worse, because of slide tackles, kicking, falling, pushing. (im goalie) and it always hurts afterwards. (and in game, dur) So, i play whatever sports i want. I dont care if it hurts, sports are my life outside of school, and they always will be. My bf has the same problem, and hes a football geek as well. But, i soon will be getting a knee brace, but some people say they don't help. But, to answer your question, it kinda depends on the size of the lump, your age, what sports you play, how active you are, ect. But, I'd talk to my mom or dad (im in 7th grade) about it.

Is home plate always on the west side of a baseball diamond?

In the older stadiums this was true. That is how left handers got the term "Southpaws". Ball diamonds anymore you will see home plate anywhere. However, generally stadiums continue to be built with home plate on the west portion of the stadium (either northwest, due west, or southwest). One of the main purposes for this is so when the game is played in the afternoon when the sun starts to set in the west it will be going down behind the batter rather then the sun shining directly in the batters eyes when the Sun is going down ----tigersy2k3
