Who was the last active major league baseball player to have played with the Washington Senators?
First, you have to remember that there have been two different Washington Senators franchises in the American League since the start of the 20th century. The first played in the nation's capital from 1901 to 1960, but moved in 1961 to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area to become the Minnesota Twins. Pitcher Jim Kaat, who broke into baseball as a rookie with the Senators in 1959, went on to play with the Twins, the Chicago White Sox, the Philadelphia Phillies, the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals. His final season was in 1983.
Washington D.C. acquired an expansion team in 1961 and named it the Senators. It played there until after the 1971 season, when it moved to Arlington, Texas, and became the Texas Rangers. Infielder Toby Harrah, whose rookie year with the Senators was 1969, eventually retired as a member of the Rangers after the 1986 season.

Why do the infielders move up sometimes?
It all depends on the situation. If their is a runner on third and it's a close game you would bring the infielders in, so any ground ball hit, would not allow the runner from third to advance home. Also if bases are loaded with 1 out, you would typically only see the corner infielders move up to get the out at home, while the middle infielders play half-way so they can turn the double play.

How many outs are in a baseball inning?
3 per team
IMPROVED ANSWER: In a normal 9-inning baseball game, "3 per team" would be correct. However, there are many games when both teams do not have to bat in the ninth inning, thus reducing the number of outs in that inning to zero for one of the teams (the case would apply to a home team that is leading after the other team registers 3 outs in the top half of the ninth inning). The home team would have won the game if still ahead after the other team bats in their half of the ninth. There is no need to bat in the bottom of the ninth.

If the batter hits a high fly ball and it is easy to catch what is the nickname for that fly ball?
Another term for a lazy fly ball is 'a can of corn' although I have yet to learn of the term's origin.
'Can of corn' derives from the practice in bygone days of stacking canned good on shelves all the way to the ceiling. Rather than keep out a bulky ladder and run up and down every time a customer wanted a good from a shelf too high to reach, shopkeepers kept a long stick with which to knock cans off the shelf and then catch them. I can only assume corn is used because of the alliteration.
