Who was the first hall of famer in baseball?
When the inaugural Hall of Fame ballots were counted in 1936, five players had received at least 75% of the votes cast - the standard set for election by the Baseball Writers' Association of America that still exists today. Those players were the first five men elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The five players were, in order of votes: Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson and Walter Johnson.
How big does a baseball field have to be?
The dimensions of a baseball field are laid out in the Official Baseball Rules. The key elements are:
- Bases 90 feet apart
- Pitcher's mound 60' 6" from Home Plate
Outfield dimensions are "preferably" 325 feet or more along the foul lines from Home Plate and 400 feet or more from Home Plate to the center field wall. Like hockey rinks, there are subtle variations between fields and some of these distances, as well as the actual configuration of the outfield wall, vary.
Another 60 feet from Home Plate to the wall or fence behind it, and at least 60 feet between bases and foul territory is required for a professional layout.
While the infields are a standard size, these outfield and foul territory dimensions give adequate room to play a game that is a combination of speed and skill. The dimensions have been very close to these since the 19th century.
The field is smaller than cricket grounds and the foul lines and home plate form a "wedge" that is surrounded by fans, (unlike cricket, where most of the action takes place in the center of the pitch at the farthest point from the fans).

From what team did the Arizona Diamondbacks get Randy Johnson?
The Diamondbacks signed Randy Johnson as a free agent in 1999 from the Houston Astros. The Astros acquired him from the Mariners on July 31, 1998
Randy Johnson DID sign on as a free agent and played on the Astros before. Randy Johnson is the best baseball player ever. He is 6'10" and throws an amazing fastball! When he was a kid he practiced by throwing a tennis ball against his garage door. He was throwing the ball so hard that the boards started coming loose! The baseball people are saying that he is going to the Yankees this year. It's not fair. Randy Johnson is everything the Diamondbacks are, if he goes, who will stay to protect them?
Yes he is a great player. I went to his high school in Livermore, CA, which they dedicated the field by his name and he played high school baseball against my father.
