That would be a force out (the same as if the ball had been hit to an infielder) and the batter would not be credited with a base hit.

Yep, scored Fielder's Choice 8-6 or 8-4

technically a steal from third to home

A 1967 Topps Willie Stargell card number 140 has a book value of about $20.00 in near/mint -mint condition. Professionally graded cards will sell for more. Condition is important.

Common flaws with baseball cards include: rounded edges, creases, off centered, and faded color. Any or all flaws will devalue the card significantly.

The distance from second base to the pitching rubber is the same as the distance from the plate to the rubber. It is 60 feet 6 inches.

I would suggest working out. But one thing most kids misunderstand is they think to throw hard, you have to throw your arm out every time. Instead of that, use more of your lower body to throw. I would also suggest two things:

1. Play long toss-

When you have time, go find a glove and a mitt and something to throw against. Then back up a long ways and just play long toss.

2. Arm Workouts-

When you have time, get an inch thick rubber band and hook it up to a fence. Then hold it in your arm and pull back.( Or if you have a bo-flex, use that too Do this 50 times and soon, you'll be throwin' like the pro's!!!

There is no consensus as to whom is the best third-base coach in baseball history, as the job of a third-base coach, while easy to define, is very difficult to rate. Basically the responsibilities of the position are to relay signals from the manager to the batter at the plate and to tell a runner coming from second base whether he should stop at third or continue to home plate. Needless to say, there are no statistics for either category, but there are some anecdotes and testimonials to bring to bear on the question.

Among the candidates for best third-base coach of all time, based on what reports we have, are Preston Gomez (suggested by Reggie Jackson in a 1982 Sports Illustrated article), Billy Martin (according to longtime Minnesota sportswriter Sid Hartman), Eddie Mayo (quoting future American League president Joe Cronin), John Vukovich (per manager Ozzie Guillen) and Manny Acta (according to ex-player and current Mets executive Tony Bernazard). A 2005 ESPN.com poll of players rated Ron Washington the best in the major leagues.

All of the above men later served as managers in the majors. Because of their responsibilities and the closeness to the manager that they entail, being a third-base coach is often a stepping stone to a managerial post. (Current major league managers who used to coach third include Acta, Washington, Jim Leyland, Charlie Manuel and John Russell.) Before 1910, when managers began to hire full-time coaches, it was usually the skipper himself who coached third base; this practice continued well into the 1950s.

Other third-base coaches that could be considered among the all-time greats include Joey Amalfitano, Billy Hunter and Jim Davenport (all of who managed in the bigs as well). More recently, George King III of the New York Post declared the Dodgers' Larry Bowa the best third-base coach in baseball, while Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle has made a similar claim for the Giants' Tim Flannery.

In the 2005 and 2006 197 major league players had played in the Cape Cod Baseball League. The 2007 list has not been completed, but it is believed that it will be over 200 alumni in the majors. World Series MVP Mike Lowell played for Chatham in 1994. Craig Biggio (first alumni to have 3000 hits) played for Yarmouth-Dennis in 1986. Frank Thomas (first alumni to hit 500 home runs) played for Orleans in 1988. The overall list of alumni to have played in the majors is 679 and counting.

Term refers to a statement, written or oral, made during the negotiations i.e. leading to a contract. (to be more precise would be the meaning given to the contract) whereas, representations merely implies with the things that are induced by the offeror to the offeree to enter into the contact. I hope it's helpful. Regards

I was at a game at the old Cleveland Stadium that was the 2nd game of a double header. It was in the late 1950's or early 1960's. I think I remember it was actually called a "Twi-light" or "Twi-night" double header. I thought it ended in the 21st inning, but that could be wrong. Maybe it was the 19th or 20th inning. I cannot find this game in an internet search. Does anyone else remember anything about this? (Most people had left by the time it ended, I think between 1 and 2 AM. ---- Good memory!

On June 14, 1963 the Indians and Washington Senators played a twilight (twinight) doubleheader. The Senators won the first game, 5-2, and the Indians won the second game, 3-2, in 19 innings on Willie Kirkland's home run off of Jim Coates leading off the bottom of the 19th.

Click on the "Indians/Senators June 14, 1963" link below to see a box score of the game.

The Indians played a 22 inning game against the Minnesota Twins on August 31, 1993 at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. The Twins won. 5-4, on a leadoff home run by Pedro Munoz off of Jason Grimsley in the bottom of the 22nd. ---------------- Wow, thanks!! I was beginning to think I was crazy. And thanks for the box score link which helped me remember a lot more. Gary Bell was my favorite player and this was one of his best pitched games. As a teenager, I loved keeping score, but the scorecards only had room for 10 innings. After so long of writing in the margins I finally gave up trying! Thanks again. . . Ginger
