Which cities were negatively affected by phoenixs expansion for major and minor league?
Cities such as San Antonio, St. Louis, and Seattle faced negative impacts from Phoenix's expansion in both major and minor league sports. These cities often experienced reduced attendance and interest in their existing teams, as potential fans were drawn to the new franchises in Phoenix. Additionally, the influx of teams can lead to market saturation, making it challenging for existing teams to maintain financial viability. Overall, the expansion can disrupt local sports ecosystems and fan engagement.
Why do batters not swing on a 3 to 0 pitch?
When a pitch count is 3-0 that means that the pitcher has only thrown balls. If you don't swing at a ball then it's not a strike. Being that it's 3-0 there is a very high chance that the batter will get walked and will then become a base runner, who can score on a hit.

Does the middle infielder have to touch second base on a double play?
He (or someone with the ball) does have to touch the base, unless they changed the rules since I played.
ADDITION BY JEREMY L:
In Little League thru Triple A Baseball the Umpires will not allow the 2nd Basemen to get away with not touching.
However, in the MLB, there is a form of lexi non scripta (unwritten law) in which the umpires will grant leniency to the player if he is in the motion of turning a double play. This started to become commonplace in the 90's and in 2011 it is common accepted practice for the 2nd basemen to merely straddle the bag rather than actually touch it. It discourages the runner from forcing impact into the legs of the basemen.

What is magglio ordonez 2010 batting song?
I know u want me
As humorous as that may be, Magglio generally listens to Latin music & musicians, so I highly doubt this is correct, but funny considering his legion of female fans. Perhaps this has become his mantra while at the park?
Who then, is the musician for that alledged song if it is correct?
What cardinal sin did New York Yankee manager commit in game 4 of the 1947 World Series?
In the bottom of the 9th, there were two outs and the Yankees were ahead 2-0. With men on 2nd and 3rd, the Yanks intentionally walked Pete Reiser putting the winning run on base. The next batter, Cookie Lavagetto, hit a double down the right field line clearing the bases and giving the Dodgers a 3-2 victory.
The Yankees eventually won the Series 4 games to 3. This is an excellent answer to the question of "What is the cardinal sin did New York Yankee manager commit in game 4 of the 1947 World Series?" The Yankee manager at the time was Bucky Harris. The cardinal sin for this and all baseball games is to never intentionally walk the winning run. It can come back to bite you real hard as it did with Bucky Harris.

What is the value of a personalized ball that reads Bill Best wishes signed by Joe Dimaggio?
Baseballs featuring the genuine autograph of Joe DiMaggio are highly sought by collectors, but unfortunately, they are also very often forged. The personalization hurts value, but presuming authenticity, key appraisal factors are: the placement and clarity of Joe's signature (the bigger and bolder, the better), the type of ball (is it an "Official American League" ball?), and the all-important overall condition of the ball and signature. The ball's history may also add value if it's documented. If genuine, your ball would be worth $100-150, depending on all the aforementioned factors. With autographs, a picture is truly worth the proverbial thousand words, and can save alotta time in the authentication, appraisal, and selling process. A Joe DiMaggio single signed baseball is worth between $400.-$600.
Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. Add for inscriptions. Collectors will pay more for inscriptions like "HOF 55"or "# 5", and pay less for personal inscriptions like "Bill Best Wishes" In a recent auction a Joe DiMaggio single signed baseball sold for $507. A Joe DiMaggio ball signed "Joltin' Joe" sold for $1,553. A #5 Inscribed ball sold for $657. For more Information on autographed baseballs visit the link I left below.
How many hits can you get in one half inning without scoring a run?
My son heard me read this question out loud and immediately piped up with six. Then he said five and went back to say six again. He is not 100% certain, but would love to hear from others on what they think is the correct answer. OK, Crystal. My pipes are warmed up and ready to go. The answer would be 6 and here is one scenario: First batter hits a triple and is thrown out at the plate trying for an inside the park home run. No runners on and one out. Second batter hits a triple and is thrown out at the plate trying for an inside the park home run. No runners on and two outs. Third batter hits a single. Runner on first and two outs. Fourth batter hits a single. Runners on first and second and two outs. Fifth batter hits a single. Bases loaded and two outs. Sixth batter hits a ball that strikes one of the runners. The runner is declared out and the batter is credited with a single. Six hits, no runs.
