Yes, it would be a good idea for a student to wear a jockstrap for P.E. class, plus sports and working out.

No. The story goes that Robinson was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, when he boarded a bus and sat down next to the wife of one of the men in his unit who was sitting towards the front. The bus driver told him to move to the back and he refused. The driver told one of the officers on the bus and the officer went to Robinson and told him to move to the back. Robinson again refused. He was arrested and charged with insubordination, which resulted in a court martial. But a military tribunal exonerated Robinson of the charges since a few months earlier the Army had issued a directive that forbade segragation on buses and Robinson was given an honorable discharge.

Because the smaller the size the higher the pitch and the bigger the bar the lower the pitch.

The regular 3rd baseman for the 1954 Cleveland Indians was Al Rosen who played 3rd in 87 games for the American League champions. Rosen hit an even .300, while belting 24 homers and driving in 102 runs for the Tribe, who were swept by the New York Giants in the World Series that was highlighted by Willie May's over the shoulder catch in deep center field in the Polo Grounds off a drive by Indians' first baseman Vic Wertz that many claimed was the turning point of the Series. In addition to Rosen, Rudy Regalado played 3rd base in another 50 games for Cleveland that season. The rest of the regular Indians starters were: 1st base-Wertz; 2nd base-Bobby Avila; SS-George Strickland; 3rd base-Rosen; Of-Dave Philley, Larry Doby, and Al Smith; Catcher-Jim Hegan. The pitching staff inclued Mike Garcia (19-8), Art Houtteman (15-7) and Bob Feller (13-3), plus two of the top relievers of the era, Don Mossi and Ray Narleski. The 1954 Indians set a new American League record by winning 111 games that season to edge out the New York Yankees for the AL pennant. The Yanks won 103 games, the most wins by a 2nd place team in AL history.

In 1949, Boston Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey and Yankees GM Larry MacPhail verbally agreed to trade DiMaggio for Ted Williams, but MacPhail refused to include Yogi Berra. Had the deal gone through, Williams could have benefited from Yankee Stadium's short right-center fence while DiMaggio could have thrived at Fenway Park with its Green Monster. If I'm not mistaken I think the deal was made at a bar and the deal fell through when the two sobered up in the morning.

A Joe DiMaggio signed baseball card is worth between $160.-$300. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. In general, collectors of baseball cards would rather have a baseball card without the signature. The signature would be considered as a flaw in the condition of the card and will lower the value. An inexpensive card will benefit as it does in this case.

There was an unforgettable doubleheader between the San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets on May 31, 1964 at the brand-new Shea Stadium. The Giants won the first game 6-2 behind the pitching of Juan Marichal. But the second game lasted 23 innings and seven hours and 23 minutes before the Giants won 8-6. Total time elapsed for the two games combined: Nine hours and 52 minutes.

There is a story about a spectator who couldn't stay for the second game because he had to catch a plane for California. When he arrived at his West Coast destination several hours later, he was shocked to find out that the Giants and the Mets were still playing.

The colors date back to their final decade in New York. The Giants wore various colors through the years until 1947, when they settled for the now-familiar black and orange.
