Baseball

By my calculations, i estimate that for a standard four door sedan, you could fit anywhere between 22,500 an up to 30,000 to . golf balls. That is of course depending on whether or not all of the cavities are utilised.

Thousands of batters have gone a whole season with at least one hitless at-bat. The most plate appearances in a season with no hits is held by pitcher Bob Buhl, who went 0-for-70 in 1962.

The lowest nonzero batting average in a season is .016, held by Brewers left-hander Doug Davis, who went 1-for-64 in 2004.

By a nonpitcher: Yankees' CF Skeeter Shelton went 1-for-40 in 1915 for a .025 batting average.

Lowest Batting average in a season with at least:

100 PA: Dean Chance, P, 1967, Minnesota Twins, .033

200 PA: Frank O'Rourke, 3B, 1912. Boston Braves, .122

300 PA: Bill Bergen, C, 1909, Brooklyn Dodgers, .139

400 PA: Dal Maxvill, SS, 1969, St. Louis Cardinals, .175

500 PA: Rob Deer, RF, 1991, Detroit Tigers, .179

The table, or plateau, of a pitching mound should be 5 foot by 3 foot. The placement should be so it measures 6 inches in front of the pitcher's rubber, 24 inches in the back of the rubber, and 18 inches on each side of the rubber.

It depends which way he is throwing the ball. If he is twisting his wrist he could hurt his elbow and end up seriously injured. Only adults should twist their wrist when throwing a curve ball. There is a way to throw a curve ball without hurting your arm though. What you do is you get your grip on the baseball and throw the ball like a football. I throw my curves this way and they are pretty nasty.

The players must udoubtbly enjoy knowing we are most supportive of their success. it would be great to belong to their fan club.BUT they have a right to privacy.ANd with so many unstables in this old world; how are they to know whom to trust .Send your notes to the (office manager?/or to him in care of the team. . what I'd like to know-(I am doing genealogy on the WASHBURN(my husband's AUnt ROse E.THOMPSON mar:a (Elmer Washburn --born in 1870 in Evansville ,Wi. they had a son Steven/-or?-Bterune?)biorn 1899 in MN.(1900 census of Itasca county,MN.) I am grasping at any straw I can think of. could You please pass this along also?? thanks a million. ANd I too agree you are all great,

You can also write to them directly, in care of the team address. There is no guarentee that you will receive a response, however, it is worth a shot. Address your envelopes to:

Jordan Schafer currently wears number 24 for the Braves.

It is reasonable to assume that some type of ball game similar to football, from which the sport we know today developed, has been played somewhere on the planet (most likely China) for more than 3,000 years. I'd imagine that during this 3,000 years time period the rules and play field had varied. It's pretty much common sense (and tradition) that most sports that contain "goals" on either end will be rectangular in shape. How else would you accommodate a sport with this much activity happening and with two teams, one on either side ? Rectangular is the only answer because a square playing field would direct too much play to the sidelines and no concentrated focus on the goal of each opposing team. It could get pretty boring if it was any other shape. The actual dimensions of a modern sized Football pitch were written out by English FA in 1863.

That depends on the number of outs. If there were two outs, none of the runs would count as an RBI. If there were less than two outs, the first run would count as an RBI and the second run would not.

Its because of the Yankees history. Probably starting with the Yankees acquiring Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth started hitting home runs and bringing fans to Yankee stadium. On top of that the Yankees have had other hall of fame hitters like Yogi Berra, Micky Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, and now Derek Jeter, and Alex Rodriguez. Yankees also have the most attendance almost ever year. And even on top of that the Yankees have WON 26 WORLD SERIES. And the post season games bring in a lot of cash, and they make the playoffs every year. 2008 is their last year and every seat in the entire stadium is sold out. Trust me- I luckily found some tickets twice as much on eBay. Plus they are baseballs best team :) You can find a Yankee fan anywhere...

And that's why the Yankees have a lot of money. Go Yankees!!

While the above statement is true, they have a winning tradition and they have been blessed with some of the best players the game has ever seen (even before they started spending a ton of money on free agency in the 70's), the Yankees make a ton of money because:

1. New York is the biggest sports market in the US, and maybe the world. Because of the population and population density, all major sports do well in NYC.

2. The Yankees are shrewd business people. They go out of their way to sign Japanes players, because those games are broadcast nationally in Japan...rising the price of sponsorship dollars (because it becomes a bigger market). A player like Matsui, who makes about $12M a year, porbably generates $30M, if you consider the expanded market he brings along with him.

3. They are one of the first, if not the first sports franchise to have their own TV network. The ownership is between the Yankees and Goldman Saks, which is a money printing machine. Because of their already popular franchise, cable companies are force to add the YES Network on their packages because many people, including myself will pay the extra few dollars a year to see their games. And of course they get to sell a lot more ads, once only reserved for the Stadium.

4. They own their own concession stands at Yankees Stadium. In fact the owners own a company that provide consessions at other arenas (unknown).

Additionally, it's about making money and also spending money. While there are many teams that make a lot of money (the Marlins for example make money, mostly from revenue sharing-a lot of that comes from the Yankees and other teams that do well financially) the Yankees ownership has committed to spending a lot of that money.

Their figures aren't make public, but the seats, parking and food (excluding ad sales at the Stadium and on TV, the YES Network and other projects abroad) cost a lot of money. I get average seats, a couple of beers and a hotdog, and park my car in their parking lot. On average I spend about $100 per game. Let's just say the new stadium has 50,000 seats and there are 81 games played their. If you assume I spend like the average fan. You get this figure for a full season: $405,000,000. PER YEAR JUST FROM THE STADIUM. Of course that's just a random number but it's arbitrary number, because there are cheap seats and there are luxuary suites and it doesn't take into consideration city taxes and other fees, deferment from past players etc. But it's easy to guesstimate that they rake in close to 750,000,000 annually.

There are three outfielders (left fielder, right fielder, and center fielder), four infielders (third baseman, shortstop, second basemen, and first basemen), a pitcher, and a catcher (the pitcher and catcher, through they play in the infield, are not considered infielders

The club was initially founded in 1962 as the Houston Colt .45's and defeated the Chicago Cubs in their first game, 11-2 on April 10. In 1965, the Colt .45's changed their name to the Houston Astros, and played baseball's first indoor game at the Astrodome on April 9, defeating the New York Yankees 2-1 in an exhibition game. So, to answer the question, the "Astros" debuted on April 9, 1965 though the Houston team had been in place for 3 years. The Astros first season in MLB was in 1962.

There were 10 charter teams of the American Professional Football Association that began play in 1920. The APFA changed its name to the National Football League in 1922. Click on the 'Charter Teams of the NFL' link on this page to read about them.

There are six teams in a baseball league. How many games must be played for each team to play the other five?

The Braves franchise has won 17 pennants in its history in Boston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta, 10 in Boston, 2 in Milwaukee, and 5 in Atlanta: Boston: 1877, 1878, 1883, 1891, 1892, 1893, 1897, 1898, 1914, 1948

Milwaukee: 1957, 1958

Atlanta: 1991, 1992, 1995, 1996, 1999

Yes. The runner must touch home plate prior to being tagged for the run to score. If the defensive team does not tag the runner or step on home plate, the run counts. This is an appeal play. If no appeal is made by the defensive team. the run counts.

The Major League Baseball All-Star Game, known as the "Midsummer Classic" started in 1933 when Arch Ward, the sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, put together the first All-Star Game as a part of Chicago's Exposition that year. Since 1962 The MVP Award (Most Valuable Player) has been given to the most outstanding player of the All-Star Game. The winner of the 2005 MLB All Star Game MVP Award was Miguel Tejada of the Baltimore Orioles. The game played in Detroit was won by the American League 7-5.

No. Once a batted ball strikes a baserunner the ruling is a dead ball. In this instance, if the runner is in fair territory, they player struck by the ball is out, and the batter is credited with a single --- if the runner is in foul territory and struck this is a foul ball. Same would apply with hitting the batting coach

Weird that you are wondering this, and even stranger that I know the answer. Although you'd probably be amazed at the sports statistics that I am tracking. Do you want to know the number of first pitch swings in Yankees/sox game on April 26th? Well it's 19.

Anyway, to answer your question...there have been 3 games so far this season that a team has scored EXACTLY 13 runs in a game...

Toronto on 4/10, Philadelphia on 4/26, and Philadelphia on 4/27

Tagging up allows a base runner to advance to the next base once a fly ball is caught. To tag up means returning to the base that you occupied at the time the fly ball was hit. You place a foot on the base and watch the ball as it is caught by the fielder. When the ball is caught, you run to the next base.

No. His ex-wife Cynthia Rodriguez (née Scurtis) filed for divorce on July 7, 2008. She cited "emotional abandonment" and "extra marital affairs and other marital misconduct" as grounds for the divorce.

In Major League Baseball, NLDS stands for the National League Division Series which determines which two teams from the National League will advance to the National League Championship Series. The Division Series consist of two best-of-five series, featuring the three division winners and a wild-card team.

Overall, Satchel Paige played in many different baseball leagues. he played in the major and the minor leagues. he also played in the negro leagues and his number in the negro leagues was #25

Major League Baseball has never had a girl play on any team.
