Baseball

Seven times in the National League. The latest on 5/5/1999, Colorado vs Chicago.

Never in the American League so far.

the number a can very ... there are 27 outs to be made 3 shrikes to a batter ... that's 81 strikes before the game even starts ... that's not to count all the foul balls hit they count as a strike as well ... you done necessarily face only 27 batters some may get a hit which will push the amount of batter you have to face up ... same applies to a walk, error, hit by pitch and drop 3rd strike ...

And, on the other hand, a pitcher could only throw 27 pitches, if every time a batter knocked a ball into play they were flyed out or grounded out; There could be no strikes.

The National Baseball Hallof Fame and Museum was established in 1936. The facility is located at 25 Main St. in Cooperstown, New York. It is operated by a private owner but is open to the public.

Two players in MLB history have stolen 7 bases in one game. George Gore did it in 1881 and Billy Hamilton in 1894. In the modern baseball era, five players have stolen 6 bases in one game: Otis Nixon, Atlanta Braves (1991), Eric Young, Colorado Rockies (1996), and Carl Crawford, Tampa Bay Rays (2009); Eddie Collins did it twice in the same month (Sept. 1912) for the Philadelphia A's!

The MLB record for most consecutive innings pitched without giving up a walk is held by Bill Fischer of the Kansas City Athletics who threw 84 1/3 consecutive innings without issueing a base on balls between August 3, 1962 and September 30, 1962.

In the NBA, teams play 7 or 8 preseason games and 82 regular season games. For a team to win the championship, they would have to win four consecutive best-of-seven playoff rounds which means they would play another 16 to 28 games. So a team that wins the championship in the NBA would play well over 100 games per season which would include preseason, regular season, and playoffs.

In the MLB the reason for the game to start five (5) minutes after the hour is due to the fact that the umpire has to collect the line up cards from the coach's ... the coach's as will as the team do not have to take the field till the HOUR of play ... the umpire is allotted this time to collect the line up cards ... when both coach's have gone back to the dug outs from there home plate meeting with the umpire the umpire will call PLAY BALL and the FIRST pitch will be thrown ...

Some major league cities are large enough to support two teams. The New York Yankees are in the American League, while the New York Mets are in the National League. Before 1958, New York had three teams -- the Yankees, the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers.

The first professional baseball league in the United States was the National Association who began play in 1871. Finding schedules for the games played is very difficult if not impossible. To know which team played the first game in the northeast is extremely difficult to determine. I can tell you that there were three northeastern teams in the National Association in 1871. Those teams were the Troy (NY) Trojans, New York Mutuals, and Boston Red Stockings. So that would mean the first professional game in the northeast was played in one of those three cities.

Levi Meyerle hit the first triple on April 24, 1876. Levi also is credited with hitting the first double on April 22, 1876.

The Chicago National League Baseball team now known as the Cubs started in 1876 along with 5 other teams. So as of 2008, they are 132 yrs old.

In MLB, 1. Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers threw a perfect game against the Chicago Cubs on September 9, 1965 winning 1-0. Bob Hendley, the Cubs pitcher, gave up one hit.

On May 2, 1917 Fred Toney of the Cincinnati Reds and Hippo Vaughn of the Chicago Cubs threw no hitters through nine innings. Vaughn gave up two hits and a run in the tenth inning and Toney retired the side in order to win 1-0 and preserve his no hitter. This was the only game in MLB history where neither team got a hit in the first nine innings of play.

I was at Dodger Stadium for Koufax's perfect game -- the most interesting and little known fact is that the Dodger's one run was unearned -- a walk, stolen base and a throwing error. The one hit they did get, a double, came two or three innings later and the runner was stranded. This could easily have been a two no-hit game.

New York Yankees won the world series from 1949 thru 1953 The New York Yankees defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers 4 games to 2. Click on the '1953 World Series' link on this page to read a game by game breakdown.

My husband says they have been playing since before 1928 that's the year my husband was born. Is this correct or is it sooner than that year.

I am a New Yorker born in 1934 and remember all my live the exsistance of Yankees playing baseball in New York. I was raised in the Bronx, went to Walton High School and use to pass the Yankee stadium twice a day for 4 years. I did go see games in the Bronx. I do not remember the dates. I love the Yankees when they loose I cry when they win I sleep well. All of them are my favorite. I do not know how long they are playing because I live in Puerto Rico 51 yrs. I miss the games on t.v. cause they are not transmitted all the time. I get angry cause there is no need not to see them play but the companies do not transmit their games to Puerto Rico all the time.

I feel fortunate to see them this World Series playing cause it might be my last.

Thank you or letting me say what I feel. New York is my home, the Bronx is where I was raised, and soon I will say good bye.

The Yankees have been an MLB franchise since 1901 when they played in Baltimore and were called the Orioles. The team moved to New York in 1903 and were called the Highlanders and changed their name to Yankees in 1913.

As of the start of the 2008 season, the Giants have the most franchise wins with 10,184. The Cubs are second with 9,985 franchise wins.
