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
