Why is the shortstop position called shortstop?
Between 2nd and 3rd base is shortstop. It's called shortstop because you are stoping short between two bases! If you are reading this, I know it's really bad but I have no clue what the answer is so please do not criticize me😊
What is the value of a 1993 Fleer Mark McGwire baseball card?
A 1993 Fleer Mark McGwire card number 710 has a book value of about .60 cents in near/mint -mint condition. This price is for the correct card not the error card. 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.

Who is the most famous baseball player to wear number 11?
Luis Aparicio, Paul Waner, Carl Hubbell, and Jim Fregosi -- all Hall of Fame members. Ryan Zimmerman, David Eckstein, Jimmy Rollins -- I think they all currently wear number 11.
If you can still throw the ball normal at other times and have not developed a shoulder or elbow problem it is most likely a psychological problem. Many younger players (high school and younger) will basically over think about their throw, and in the back of their mind worry about making a bad throw. This will often result in "short arming" the ball, which makes it very hard to throw accurate. My best suggestion is to clear your mind and not worry about making a bad throw. Just field the ball and fire and you'll soon be back to your old self.

Should a baseball coach require a 7 minute mile as a prerequisite to tryout for the team?
Half the players in major league baseball wouldn't make that team. It would be nice if everyone could run a 7 minute mile, as it isn't that tough. But cardio fitness has almost nothing to do with being a good baseball player, LOL. So, it seems relatively silly.
