A form for baseball hats that a person can use in the dishwasher to wash baseball hats?
I would not recommend washing your hat in the dish washer because it can ruin the dishwasher! if you do not want to shrink the cap then put it in the washer and then hang to dry!!!
Do not wash your hat in any machine. It will ruin the bill. Wash it by hand in the sink, use a little brush. And keep the bill as dry as possible.
That extra line creates a "running box". When a batter puts the ball in play, while running to first base he must run in that box until reaching first. If not, he may be called for interferrence should a fielder, usually the catcher, throw to first and hit the batter/runner if he is outside the box in fair or foul territory.

Does a baseball go farther when hit by a wood or metal bat?
The governing bodies for various levels of baseball (high school, college, youth leagues, etc.) have set performance standards for metal bats so that, under controlled test conditions, metal bats perform nearly the same as wood bats. Therefore, given all the same conditions, a ball would travel the same distance whether hit by a metal or a wood bat. However, in an actual game, batters swing at varying speeds and other conditions may be different, as well, resulting in different distances for hit balls.

Is there a rule that states where a home team dugout should be located?
The only rules concerning the dugout are that 1. There must be a 'bench' for each team. 2. It must have three walls and a roof. 3. Must be below the playing surface. It used to be traditional for teams East of the Mississippi to use the first-base side for the home dugout, and teams West of the Mississippi to use the third-base side. However, this is no longer universally followed.
Nope. It's a stolen base.

Can a runner jump over a player to avoid a tag in Ohio?
YES... a runner can jump over a fielder in any state ...
Opinions
It really also depends on the league as Little League, Cal Ripken Jr, Sandy Koffax, Babe Ruth and high school rules all state that a runner must "give himself up" to avoid a collision or slide. This is a rule implemented for the safety of amateurs, the only amateur league this rule does not apply is Legion Ball --- By jumping over a player you are putting not only yourself in harms way, but you are endangering the defender. This would be a judgment call for the umpire --- tigersy2k3
Well, along with tigersy2k3, it is a judgment call for the umpire. But yes you can jump over a tag. Dont matter what state.

How much does a 100 mph baseball pitch slow down?
To actually calculate it exactly would take a lot of math. I don't have a container to measure the density of a baseball and the air temp where you are also depends on it. But, to give you the exact average 1 mph per 7 feet. If you are low sea level and very humid out as much as 1 mph per 6 feet. On a mountain or high altitude as low as 1 per 8 ft. So just say 1 mph per 7 feet. Hercules71185
