How many pitches can a batter take without swinging his bat?
Here are some answers from the community:
- Well, if he keeps hitting foul balls he could theoretically stay there forever. Doesn't usually happen though. Three strikes and he's out. Four balls and he walks. Theoretically, unlimited. If the batter keeps hitting 3rd strike foul balls, he could stay there indefinitely.
- 11 pitches. Two outs in the inning, runner on base, 3-2 count, and runner gets caught stealing for the 3rd out. The same batter leads off the next with the same at bat receiving a 3-2 count for a total of 10 pitches, the 11th pitch is a hit, walk, or strike out.

What year did the New York Yankees organization start?
The New York Yankees franchise began in Baltimore, and were called the Baltimore Orioles. The team played in the American League of Professional Baseball Clubs which became part of the Major Leagues in 1901. The team was then moved to New York in 1903, and played at Hilltop Park in Manhattan. The ballpark was built at one of the highest points in Manhattan and so the team was then called the Highlanders. The name Highlanders was also the name of a British military unit The Gordon Highlanders, and the name of the teams President was Joseph Gordon. As early as 1904 The press began to refer to the team as "the Yankees." The name Yankees was more commonly used in the coming years, and after the Highlanders moved to the Polo Grounds the reference to the team as the Highlanders no longer applied as they no longer played at a higher elevation.
