When tagging up does the runner have to wait for fielder to have possession or first touch?
The fielder has to have the ball in his possession but if he drops it he doesn't have to tag up.
Actually, the fielder doe NOT have to have possession of the ball for a base runner to tag up and advance. Once the runner is on the base ("tagging up") he may advance as soon as the fielder touches the ball, whether he has possession or not. In other words, the base runner may advance even if the fielder is bobbling the ball and then catches it, i. e. has possession.

Why are ash bats bad in Major League Baseball?
The use of Ash Bats in the MLB are declining because of the relatively recent rise of the Maple Bat. Maple Bats have become extremely popular since Barry Bonds broke the single season home run record using a maple bat. Maple is a denser wood than Ash, so the Ash bats are more flexible and more likely to break than maple. Although maple bats are more expensive, they usually last quite a bit longer than Ash so the difference in cost usually isn't an issue.
Yes, but they would not used marked balls for something like a rookie's first home run. MLB will use marked baseballs when an event can occur that would make the baseball a lot of money for a fan ... a collector's item. After Barry Bonds hit #755, every time he came to bat the ball boy would bring the home plate umpire a batch of baseballs. Those balls were marked with a number. The home plate umpire kept track of the number of the ball in play so that when Bonds hit #756, there would be no confusion as to which fan had the correct ball.

Has a baseball team ever won a protest?
I don't know if there was an offical protest or if the game went under review, but there was a famous game between the NY Yankees and the Kansas City Royals where, with NY leading in the top of the ninth, George Brett hit a HR to give his team the lead. However, NY manager Billy Martin pointed out to the umpires that the bat had too much pine tar coated on it, which was illegal at that time. The umpires agreed and ruled that George was out and the HR didn't count. Soon after however MLB said that they would count the HR because taking it away took away from the "integrity of the game". The final inning of the game was replayed but with the HR counting and Kansas City won. So I don't know if Kansas City protested, but a game was replayed due to a change of an on field call. Now I think of it, I'm pretty sure it was an offical protest, which would make the answer yes.

What constitutes a catch in baseball?
A receiver must have possession of the ball with both feet inbounds for a catch to be legal. A rule passed for the 2008 season has eliminated the 'force out' as a legal catch. Prior to the 2008 season, if a receiver was in the air when catching the ball and a defender hit him and knocked him out of bounds before he landed the referee could allow the catch to stand by ruling the receiver would have landed inbounds had he not been forced out of bounds by the hit. Now, that ruling has been eliminated.
