Lots of them. The number 3 is on a jersey of a member of almost every major league team as well as most other teams where numbers are put on a jersey. Babe Ruth wore it, but so did some other great players. Did you have a particular team in mind? Or a period in the history of the game? A bit more information may return a better answer. Dodgers 1971-1980

YES. Felipe Lopez (second basemen for brewers), Frank Thomas (unsigned and probably going to retire), Fred Lewis (left fielder for giants), Francisco Rodriguez (closer for mets) just to name a few.

Are there any limits on how many innings a pitcher can pitch, in one game?

Not in any official rules. In a MLB game on 1920 May 5, both pitchers threw for 26 innings. The game was called due to darkness with the score still 1 to 1.

The Brooklyn Dodgers en masse started putting plastic liners into their tradition caps in 1941. Indiviudal players had been doing this though beforehand. Modern-day helmets were not manadated until 1971 and ear flaps not until 1982 or '83.

Don Newcombe of the Brooklyn Dodgers won the first Cy Young Award in 1956, back when the award was presented to the best pitcher in both leagues. Newcombe posted a 27-7 record that season with a 3.06 earned run average.

Octavio Dotel has played with 13 different franchises, the most out of any MLB player in history.

Albert Pujols holds the record for most home runs by a St. Louis Cardinal rookie at 37. (2001)

The most home runs in a career by a St. Louis Cardinals player is Stan Musial, who hit 475 home runs in his long 22 year career with the Cards. Former St. Louis Cardinal, Albert Pujols, was close to beating that record before he was picked up by the Los Angeles Angels. Pujols hit 445 home runs in 11 years with the Cards.

On April 11, 1961, the Twins won their first game in history when Pedro Ramos shut out the New York Yankees 6-0 in Yankee Stadium. The Yankees went on to win the 1961 World Series and are considered to be one of the greatest baseball teams of all time.

Walter Johnson, whose career spanned 1907-1927 with the Washington Nationals/Senators, is the MLB career leader in shutouts with 110. Second is Grover Cleveland Alexander, whose career spanned 1911-1930 with the Phillies, Cubs, and Cardinals, with 90.

Bernie Williams has the most postseason home runs for the Yankees with 22.

== == Ed Morris had 12 in 1886, which is the AA record for Lefthanders Sandy Koufax had 11 in 1963, which is the NL record for Lefthanders The American League record for shutouts in a season by a southpaw is 9 and held by Ron Guidry of the Yankees (1978) and Babe Ruth of the Red Sox (1916).

Well, actually, you have two different types of games in your question.

Post means after the season, so here are your answers:

Each team plays 162 regular season games. If the team makes it to the playoffs, they can play anywhere from 3 to 19 games.

The first series is the Division Series, the best out of 5 games wins the division. This means that a team can win the first 3 games, or play up to the full 5 games.

The second series is the Championship Series. The best out of 7 games wins the championship. This means that a team can win the first 4 games, or play up to the full 7 games.

The final series is the World Series. This series is also a best out of 7 series and the same rules apply as the Championship Series.

The team could possibly lose the first 3 games of the Division Series, therefor only playing 3 games in the post season.

According to Guinness World Records the fastest pitched baseball was thrown by Nolan Ryan on Aug. 20 1974. 100.9 mph There are many different records that have not been adequately confirmed. Joel Zumaya was clocked at 104 mph during the 2006 playoffs. Pitch speeds, however, are often exaggerated or inflated for the benefit of the fans. The Indians' Bob Feller reportedly threw well over 100 mph, and harder than Ryan, but there are no confirmed records of this. Feller was officially clocked at 98 mph late in his career.

When the Baltimore Orioles moved to New York for the 1903 season the team was originally called the Highlanders because the park that they played at was built on one of the highest points on Manhatten Island. They were also called the Americans and the Yankees during their first ten years but the official name was the Highlanders. In 1913, they started playing their home games at the Polo Grounds which was located on the Harlem River. The name Highlanders lost its meaning and the name was officially changed to the Yankees.

For pitchers, Nolan Ryan has 5,714 career strikeouts. For batters, Reggie Jackson has 2,597 strikeouts.
