Baseball

baseball started out in the 1800's with an old british game called town ball. children generally played it then adults got involved with it. Alexander cartwright invented the first major baseball field. his team was the knickerbocers. the first game baseball game was June 19, 1846. the greatest baseball players exist back then better then the players now days!

In MLB, that is Ken Griffey Jr. of the 1993 Seattle Mariners, Don Mattingly of the 1987 New York Yankees, and Dale Long of the 1956 Pittsburgh Pirates at eight consecutive games with a home run.

Around the world, South Korean Player Lee Dae-Ho leads with 9 consecutive game home runs.

No. The jersey #8 has been retired from the Red Sox in order to honor Carl Yastrzemski, a great Red Sox outfielder.

Right now the guy who's throwing the hardest, and isn't a reliever is Justin Verlander. His rookie season he often hit 100 to 102 MPH in games(was clocked at 102 in his no hitter.) Zumaya also often hit 101-103... he led the leagues in pitches at or over 100 mph that season as reliever. I've seen Harden, Brian Wilson, Kerry Wood, Brad Lidge, Burnett, Papelbon and Beckett all hit it before. Oswalt had a pitch clocked at 100 on a foul tip his rookie season but haven't seen him throw harder than 99 since then.

Most people don't know much about this, and just make up crap. Obviously guys like Nolan, Clemens and Johnson hit 100(Nolan did so more than any pitcher probably.)

But the fastest I've seen a guy throw is Billy Wagner. One game he closed in like 2003, he threw like 13 pitches, 9 were 100 or over. Every other pitch he threw was a mediocre fastball clocked at 99.

If you mean by an individual player, the answer is Barry Bonds: 73 home runs in 2001. The American League record is still owned by Roger Maris, who hit 61 home runs in 1961.

If you mean by a team, that record was set by the Seattle Mariners in 1997 with 264 home runs.

If you mean the highest single-season major league total, the most home runs hit in the major leagues in a single season occurred in 2000, with 5,693.

The New York Yankees Major League franchise began in 1901 in Baltimore, named the Orioles. The team moved to New York in 1903, and the team name was changed to the Highlanders. In 1913 the team name was changed to The New York Yankees. The New York Yankees organization considers 1903 to be their first year.

First of all, I really hope you're not running away. (you can always ask me for advice - I would love to help!) Anyways, I think you would like to bring . . .money, clothes, food, water, toothbrush and toothpaste, suitcase, and make sure you know where a shelter is!! I do not approve of this, though!!!

I cannot tell you of the exact name of the font or style used for the lettering but I can send you to a site that pictures the different lettering, numbers, and logos used on Cubs uniforms throughout the years. To find the names of the font used do a search for online companies that sell baseball uniforms, check out the charts they use for ordering the lettering, and compare them with the Cubs lettering.

See Related links below for the websites mentioned above. I have listed one site with uniform fonts you might have to find others to make a match.

he was both right handed and left swinging. he is what you call a switch hitter.

According to MLB's official historian, John Thorn, the current New York Yankees franchise was not the Baltimore Orioles that existed in 1901 and 1902. His quote:

"We discussed this at length when we did the first edition of our new encyclopedia in 2004. IIRC, the deciding factor was that the Baltimore franchise went bust during the season and was turned over to the league. After the season, the league then sold a new franchise to investors in New York City. We felt that wasn't really a relocation or a transfer; it was simply filling the gap in the league that was opened when the Orioles' franchise disintegrated.

Of the 39 players who appeared for Baltimore in 1902, only five appeared for New York in 1903. Jimmy Williams was the regular second baseman for both clubs. Herm McFarland, a utility player in '02, became a regular outfielder in '03. Ernie Courtney played one game for Balto. in 1902, then 25 for NY in 1903. Harry Howell was the only pitcher of consequence to make the transition. Snake Wiltse (4 G in '03) also appeared for both."

As such, Major League Baseball no longer recognizes the 1901 and 1902 Baltimore Orioles as the same franchise as the New York Highlanders and Yankees.

Cleveland Indians pitcher Bob Feller threw a no hitter blanking the Chicago White Sox 1-0 on opening day, April 16, 1940. To date (through 2009) this is the first and only opening day no hitter.

physics deals with projectile motion and collisions.

the ball is in projectile motion before and after it is hit.
the collision of the bat and the ball can be calculated to provide other information, like how much energy is lost when the collision occurs, and how much the ball will compress, and deform

physics can determine other aspects that will assist in understanding the situation better

George Steinbrenner, and partners purchased the New York Yankees for $10,000,000 in 1973.
