What are the 20 required skill certificates to unlock Abner Dubbleplay in backyard baseball 2005 for PC?

You don't have to get a specific 20 skill certificates, as I know there are more than 20 of then. For the most part, you end up with 15-19 at the end of a 18 game season, and one of last last ones that you might need it hitting a cycle, or getting 10 strike outs in a game.

How high should the tee for t-ball be if the child is 40 inches tall?

Well, I don't exactly know because I am a softball player, but you could try adjusting it alot. (we use tees in practice) Have him/her swing a couple times to see if he/she hits the tee. If so, its to high. Lower it a tad and have him/her swing some more. You should figure out the perfect height by doing that. Every kid is differant. Some like it high some like it low. I hope your child's tee ball team will win! Lots of Luck!

If you swing and ball hits you is the ball live or dead?

If you swing and miss and the ball hits you, it is a strike and a live ball.

If you swing and the bat makes contact with the ball and the ball hits you while you're in the batter's box, it is a foul ball and a dead ball.

Yes, the pitcher who pitched the bottom of the previous inning would get the win and if a new pitcher is used in the bottom of the next inning and holds the lead, he would get the save.

Can a runner score on a dead ball?

technically, no, that's why it is called a dead ball, all runners go back to the bag they were at before the play started. unless it is a ground rule double, however, then the runner gets two bases from where he started when the play began. so if the player began on second, he can score.

Will a baseball travel faster in cold air or warm air?

Excerpt Taken From Washington Post Article by Ann Posegate, October 2, 2008

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/capitalweathergang/2008/10/weather_and_baseball.html


Humidity

High humidity actually yields air that is less dense, thus providing less air resistance for a traveling ball and allowing it to go further. This is an interesting and counterintuitive fact due to water vapor being lighter (in mass) than oxygen and nitrogen in air. Taking it back to high school chemistry, density equals mass over volume. The more water vapor that's present in the air, the lighter and less resistant the air is.

Temperature

Air expands as it warms. So warm air is less dense -- there's more space between the air molecules -- than cold air. Warm temperatures therefore also help a ball to travel a bit farther.

Which league is considered the Senior league?

The national league

"Senior League" refers to the youth league after "Little League" but before High School. Senior League players are usually between the ages of 13-15 and/or grades 7-9. Most Senior Leagues allow bats larger than the 2.25" Little League approved bat diameter, and bats can be lighter than the High School -3 minimum weight/length, but the bat weight ratio limits vary with the specific senior league organization. For example, Catholic Youth Athletic Association limits grade 7-8 bats to -7 weight ratio (no lighter). So, be careful when shopping for a "Senior League" bat as the rules for different organizations are less consistent than they are for the 9-12 year olds that usually follow Little League rules.

Where is the torii located?

A "torii" is a gate or entrance structure that symbolically represents a portal between the spirit world and the physical world. It looks a bit like a bird perch, which is where the name comes from. A torii may be found standing alone in some location to mark a spiritual spot, but a torii is most commonly found at the entrance to any Shinto shrine. Torii may also be found in smaller symbolic form near a Buddhist altar to mark it as relevant also to the Shinto. There are several famous large torii in Japan that might be referred to as "the" torii. One of the most famous is the torii that stands in the sea near the Shinto shrine in Hiroshima bay. It was reproduced by Disney's Epcot Center as one of the world's most famous landmarks.

Shinto is not the only religion to recognize spirit portals. In Babylonia, the root of the name ("Bab") means gate. (Not "land of many languages" as sometimes reported.) "Bab" is used not only to refer to a giant gate they constructed, but also for the principal aspect of their religion, which is the mystery of the gate between this world and the next. The Hebrew religion that later became the basis for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam used a curtained doorway to separate the holy from the profane. Passing through a gate is sometimes used as a symbol for birth, or for rebirth. A somewhat similar concept of a door between the spiritually blessed or purified and the rest of the world is echoed in the book of John when Jesus, speaking of rebirth through faith, says "I am the door". During the middle ages, Christianity used ornate openwork fences to separate the people from the altar. Many churches still have raised areas to symbolically mark the separation. Islam still uses ornate grill-work to separate the men's area from the women's area in order to keep the men's area "pure", and also separates the most holy area of the Kaaba from the eyes of the profane with the use of a curtain.
