Everything but purple really, that being hardest to produce. Blue, green, yellow, red, brown, black, gold and silver were all readily available

Russel Branyon hit the longest one at Miller Park. I'm not sure about away games though.

because the hockey season ends.

The distance from Home Plate to 2nd base is 127+ feet. This is calculated using Pythagorean Theorem (90x90=8100, x2 = 16200, sq. rt. = 127.279 feet)

The distance from Home Plate to pitcher's mound is 60 feet, 6 inches, thus the distance from pitcher's mound to 2nd base is 127.3-60.5 feet or roughly 67 feet.

It's a matter of personal preference. Some such as Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees and I believe Jason Vartiek of the Boston Red Sox choose to wear high socks over their pants and others prefer to have their pants come over their socks.

Some players are very superstitious and change their look when they are in a slump and when they start hitting they keep that look. Others just always wear their clothes the same way. Its the same as when players use different batting gloves with different colors and designs as well as cleats and baseball mitts. Its just a matter of preference.

According to the Roanoke College C&E News Summary of March 29, 1999: "Who has ever seriously considered what goes in to making baseballs? To Rawlings, this knowledge is excrutiatingly important. Today, instructiouns call for a cork nucleus that weighs exactly 0.5 oz and is 2.86 to 2.94 inches in diameter. It is to be incased in two thin rubber layers - one black, one red - and weigh a total of 7/8 oz. This nucleus is then machine-wound under high, consistent tension with 121 yards of four-ply blue-gray wool, 45 yards of three-ply white wool yarn, 53 more yards of three-ply blue-gray wool yarn and 150 yards of fine white polyester-cotton blend yarn. THis is coated with rubber cement before the cover is put on. The cover consistes of two pieces of elongated figure-eight-shaped white cowhide, dampened to permit strething, which is then handstiched together with 216 raised stitches, using 88 inches of red cotton thread. Finally, the ball is rolled for 15 seconds while still slightly damp so the seams are even and reasonable flat.
At this point, the balls are still not ready for the big league. Balls are selected at random from each shipment and shot from an air cannon at 85 feet per second at a wall made of northern white ash (the wood used to make bats). Each tested ball must bounce back at between 0.514 and 0.578 of its original speed to be suitably lively for Major League Baseball."

Through the games of August 31, 2007 Kevin Youkilis has been hit 13 times in 466 official at bats.

to retrieve the bats after a hitter hits, and sometimes chase foul balls

the foul lines come directly to the point on the back of home plate. that is why a ball off the plate is a fair ball

That was due to an old rule in baseball that doesn't exist anymore. If a game was tied after the fifth inning and it started raining and the umpires decided that play could not continue, the game was considereda no contestas far as wins and losses were concerned but not as far as a player's statistics were concerned. So whatever the player did in the game (hit a home run, made an error, struckout, etc.) would be counted towards his yearly stats. If a similar situation arose today, the game would be restarted at a later date at the point that the umpires called it.

sacrifice flies- you hit the ball and someone is on base, the ball you hit is a pop ball and you get out so that another player can advance

The only way to add muscle is to lift heavy weights. Your muscles need to be overloaded to break them down and force them to adapt. You may be sore, but heavy weights is a necessity.

There is no captain. Not every team has a captain, in fact there are only 4.
