In standings, "OT" stands for "overtime." It refers to the number of games a team has played that were tied at the end of regulation time and required overtime to determine a winner. Points may be awarded differently for games decided in overtime, depending on the league's rules. For example, in the NHL, a team earns one point for an overtime loss in addition to the points awarded for a win.

I think if you are looking for basic softball cheers, I think this is a good website.http:/www.eteamz.com/fastpitch/instruction/cheers Although since i am experienced I have heard most of these cheers but this website has probably hundred's and categorized them by our team, your team, your pitcher and so on. I really hope this website helps

As it is well known, the Florida State Seminoles were the creators of the famous Tomahawk Chop. When Deion Sanders became a 2-Sport Athlete (Atlanta Falcons & Atlanta Braves) is when this started for the Braves in the early 1990's. Deion played back at FSU in his college days. During Spring Training playing down in Florida, many old fans would watch him play and begin doing the chop. Because the Atlanta Braves mascot is a type of Indian, it began to become very popular and is today the very image of the Atlanta Braves.

Depends if you are the Cubs or not. If your team is the Chicago Cubs, the average is .7 runs. If you are the Cardinals or a reasonably reliable team, the average is 2.8 runs.

The classification of major diseases can vary depending on context, but broadly, there are several categories of major diseases, including infectious diseases (like HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis), chronic diseases (such as heart disease and diabetes), and mental health disorders (like depression and schizophrenia). The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes numerous health conditions as significant public health concerns. Thus, while it's difficult to pin down an exact number, many experts focus on a range of 10-20 major categories of diseases that significantly impact global health.

'Retired the side' means the defensive team got the third out and it is now their turn to bat.

Cute trivia question. The problem is that you haven't spelled out the rules. Is a team considered based in the state in it's name or where it plays or where it's front office and practice facilities are. The two New York City teams both play in the Meadowlands, which is in New Jersey. In reality, New York City has no pro football teams. This greatly impacts the calculation since they COULD be in the same state as the Buffalo Bills for the purposes of your question, even though they actually aren't. But wait, it gets worse. The "Washington" Redskins play in Maryland, are based in Virginia, but have the District of Columbia as the city on their name. But the district isn't a state! I have no idea how many other teams have this problem, but with some of the cities being right near the borders of other states, I suspect there's more than just these three. Once you figure out the rules, get out a map and count.

Bill Johnson played for the Yankees between 1943-1951. He was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals on May 14, 1951 for Don Bollweg and $15,000. He made the AL All-Star team in 1947. He hit .285 with 10 HRs and 95 RBIs in 1947.

Doumit told the team he hurt his right wrist during an at bat against the Atlanta Braves in a game played April 19. A CT scan showed a fracture of the scaphoid bone in his right wrist.

The area behind the pitcher is 'blacked out' during day games only. This is so the batter's view of the baseball is not affected. i.e. a person wearing a white shirt or a variety of colors would make it even more difficult for a batter to pick up the ball. This would give pitchers an advantage

First, experiment a little playing different positions. I find outfield boring, infield more exciting and varied, but I play catcher because it helps move the game along a little quicker. I haven't tried pitching but I hear it can be a real grind. See which works for you. Baserunning can also be boring if the guys behind you foul off a lot of pitches. I have learned to count from the pitcher's first move to when the catcher catches the pitch. If it's 2-seconds or longer, I try to steal off the guy and will have a pretty good chance of making it. Quicker than that, beware! Stealing is a real gamble. To advance, follow your training assignments and try to meet your goals. If you finish them before the deadline, try to beef up important areas. I prefer contact and power since that's where you'll score the most points (and have the most fun). This is one of the best aspects of the game: Try to think like a real hitter! Take a look at what the pitcher throws when you come up. If it's all fastballs, gear up and swing away, but if he mixes in a lot of offspeed stuff, BEWARE! These guys and make you look bad on a regular basis...but if you have patience, curveballs and changeups are pretty easy to knock out of the park. After a while you'll recognize the pitchers and remember what they throw. Avoid swinging at the trash and crush their mistakes! You're not going to be a superstar right away so it can be a little humbling, but also rewarding when you work your way to the Show. Like I say, it takes some time to get good at but that's part of the attraction of the game. You'll have hot streaks and crushing slumps too. They'll both end so stay on an even keel and keep working. It's a very, very rewarding and fun game. There's a lot more to it but you'll learn as you go. Hope this helps, have fun!

You probably mean 'inning.' An inning continues until each team has recorded three outs against the other team. In other words, there is no time limit for an inning in American Baseball; both teams have to record three outs.

no i dont know about in baseball, but in fastpitch softball... the batter would be out
