Hank Aaron, Felipe Alou, Ernie Banks, and Frank Robinson each hit 7 home runs off of Koufax, the most of any right handed batter.

it could be brendan Ryan or skip schumaker

JaMarcus Russell.

By calling his shot. He was also the career home run leader until Hank Aaron broke his record of 714. Aaron then had his record broken by Barry Bonds. Ruth was also an established pitcher. Don't forget about the "curse" either.

414 times in 19 seasons.

Then-rookie pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez of the Colorado Rockies on Sept. 5th 2007 at Coors Field. It was the 762nd home run of Bonds' career.

As far as batting average goes that would be Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby who played with the Cardinals, Giants, Braves, Cubs, and Browns between 1915-1937. His career batting average was .358 and he is second all time in career batting average behind Ty Cobb.

As of August 30, 2007 the team with the most franchise losses is the Philadelphia Phillies who have a franchise record of 8835-10017. Second most losses is the Atlanta Braves whose franchise record is 9681-9704.

In the regular season, Bob Allison.

Allison hit the first home run in Twins regular season history in the 7th inning of their first ever regular season game (April 11, 1961) against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium.

The previous answer here said: "the dodgers"

Apparently they must have been a Dodger fan because in actuality, it is the Giants.

1st - Giants: 56 players, 11 managers

2nd - Dodgers: 45 players, 9 managers

3rd - Yankees: 41 players, 11 managers

These numbers are a touch inflated. Most people count players that played the majority of their career for one team. Consider the fact that there are only 19 managers in the Hall yet someone has listed 31 from just 3 teams. The Giants do have the most Hall of Famers, however on their official site they only list 29 as having spent the majority of their career with the team. They break it down further by listing 23 other members of the Hall who spent a small portion of their career with the team. They go on to list only 1 manager and 3 broadcasters. Take the above numbers with a grain of salt and do a little research for yourself.

Players usually arrive 3 or 4 hours in advance of the game. This gives them time to suit up, do a light workout, meet with coaches and managers, etc. One exception is when a west coast team travels east directly after a night game on the west coast. They may get to the park only shortly before the game.

You cannot rightfully compare athletes from Babe Ruth's era to the athletes of today. There are too many advancements in equipment, baseball science, and athletic conditioning. The fairest way to compare two eras in sports would be to rate what the athlete accomplished during his own era compared to the other athletes in their sport.

For example Babe Ruth at one time early in his career was hitting more home runs than entire teams. He hit 54 home runs in 1920 the next highest ballplayer had 19. He hit more home runs than every team in major League baseball with the exception of the Phillies with 64. It would be like one of today's hitters hitting 180 home runs or more in a season. Before the 1980's if you hit 20 home runs you were considered a home run hitter. Today every one hits 20 home runs.

Today, Baseballs are wound tighter, bats are lighter, parks are smaller, the pitchers mound is lower, the strike zone is smaller, and the athletes are better conditioned. You can't compare Alex Rodriguez to Babe Ruth.

Vince Coleman, who played in the major leagues from 1985 to 1997, is the only player of baseball's modern era to accomplish that feat. He stole 110 bases during his rookie season with the St. Louis Cardinals, and then stole 107 in 1986 and 109 in 1987. He is the only player in baseball history to steal 100-plus bases in each of his first three seasons. He was the last person to steal 100 bases in a season (in 1987) and ranks sixth all time with 752 career steals.

Hall of Famer George Brett of the Kansas City Royals won the American League batting title in 1976, 1980, and 1990. He's the only player in baseball history to win the batting title in three differnt decades.

The great Pittsburgh Pirates right fielder won 12 consecutive Gold Gloves from 1961 to 1972.

Barry Bonds father was former Major League ballplayer Bobby Bonds

The official Reds website lists it as 535 feet, off of the Dodgers' Jose Lima on October 10th, 2004

Since there have been only 23 perfect games in major league history, many teams have never had a pitcher hurl one. The teams that have won perfect games are: the Cleveland Indians, the Boston Americans (now the Red Sox), the Chicago White Sox, the New York Yankees, the Philadelphia Phillies, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Oakland A's, the California Angels, the Cincinnati Reds, the Montreal Expos (now the Washington Nationals), the Texas Rangers, the Arizona Diamondbacks, the San Francisco Giants and the Seattle Mariners.

Depends on the hitter, bad swings break bats, swing correctly with good sound fundamentals at the plate and there should not be an issue! But of course aluminum usually lasts longer than wood. But swinging with wood forces you to swing correctly, so it is way better for your development.

It is one nickname among many others referring to the New York Yankees.

Other nicknames

The Bronx Bombers, The Bombers, The Yanks, The Pinstripers, The Bronx Zoo, The Evil Empire

Since 1915, only two "major" leagues have been in existence; and literally hundreds (if not thousands) of players have been on teams in both leagues.

During the seasons of 1914 and 1915, the Federal League operated; and baseball history officially recognizes this as a "major" league. Scores of players -- including six future Hall of Famers -- played in this league as well as either the AL and the NL; so most likely dozens have played in three major leagues.

Likewise, a few entire TEAMS jumped from the Player's Association (1890) to the American Association, and then to the National League. Thus, some players went through three leagues in just over three years!

I doubt anyone has played in four leagues that are presently and unambiguously considered "major."

Tommy Agee was the New York Mets center fielder in 1969.

The last Yankees playoff game was on October 22, 2010 against the Texas Rangers. Colby Lewis was the winning pitcher in game 6 of the ALCS. The last Yankees win was by CC Sabathia in game 5.

Most teams will use a five man rotation and based on this a starting pitcher will pitch every sixth day.

That would be the 2002 Giambi brothers. Jason hit 41 for the Yankees and Jeremy hit 20, 8 for the Athletics and 12 for the Phillies.
