In baseball how do you score if a runner misses a base and on appeal he is called out?

The batter is credited with a double, so his batting average will increase. The out would be scored as any other out is scored. It depends on what happened on the play. If, for example, the batter hit the ball down the right field line, and the ball is fielded by the right fielder. He throws to the second baseman, who then throws to the third baseman for the out at third, the scoring would be 9-4-5.

How much has Alex Rodriguez earned in his entire baseball career?

$303 Million dollars so far:

He got a 1 million dollar signing bonus in 1993 after Seattle drafted him.

He made $433,333 in '94, 95 and '96.

He signed a 4 year, 10.7 million dollar contract that covered '97, '98, '99 and '00

He then signed a 10 year, 252 million dollar contract with Texas.

He waved his no-trade clause allowing himself to be traded in '04

At that point he had received $69 million of the 252 million dollar contract.

He also agreed to defer 45 Million dollars until 2011-14

He opted out of the deal after 2007, having received:

$10M in signing bonuses

$116M in salary (not including the 45 million that was deferred.)

He signed a new 10 year deal after the '07 season, and so far has been paid:

$4M in signing bonuses (6M to come by '15)

$91M in salary (174M to come, by 2017)

PLUS

He has 'marketing bonuses' for hitting significant home runs:

6 million for 660 (passing Willie Mays)

6 million for 714 (passing Babe Ruth)

6 million for 755 (passing Hand Aaron)

and 6 million for tying AND for passing the ML record (currently Barry Bonds)

So... by the end of 2010, he has made $303 million dollars.

By 2017, will have made ANOTHER $225 AND could make ANOTHER 30 million

if he breaks all the home run records.

If all goes well for him, he'll make $558 million dollars then likely retire.

Who was the only player to reach the major leagues who played in the last inning of the last game of the season and did not get the opportunity to bat?

It sounds like you are talking about Archibald "Moonlight" Graham, who played one game in the major leagues and never got to the plate. He is featured in the movie "Field of Dreams" and also in the book on which that movie was based, " Shoeless Joe " by W.P. Kinsella. In fact this has happened to many, many people. The shortest career I know of was that of Larry Yount, Robin Yount's older brother, who was a pitcher, and was called into his first game as a reliever, had his name announced so he was officially the pitcher of record, then hurt his arm doing his warm-up throws from the mound, had to come out, and never played again.

What happens in a tie bottom of the ninth inning?

That is when the home team is batting in the ninth inning. If the home team is ahead after the visiting team makes its three outs in the 'top' of the ninth (their turn to bat in the ninth inning) there is no bottom of the ninth because the game is over and the home team has won. If the home team is tied or behind the visiting team after the visiting team makes their three outs in the ninth inning, the home team comes to bat and it is called 'batting in the bottom of the ninth inning'.

In baseball do the pitcher and catcher form?

I think you are asking what they form. If that is what you want to know, they are called "The Battery," because they work together to try and get the batter out.

The catcher makes hand signals for the pitcher to see telling him what type of pitch to throw. The pitcher will either nod or shake his head to let the catcher know if that is the pitch he wants to deliver or not.

Can you appeal a play twice?

It all depends on how calmly you appealed the play to begin with. If you were professional enough and didn't get thrown out of the game, then you just might have the opportunity to appeal it again. However, the chances of your getting tossed with the second appeal will go up exponentially.

Answer

The answer above is refering to similar plays in the same game i believe. But the way i understood your question was asking if you can appeal and appeal essientially. the answer is NO. You can appeal a call and if you still do not agree with the call and you feel it is a misrepresentation of the rule you can then "Protest" the call and finish the game under "protest". The League office or in MLB, the Commish office, will then review the play with the umpires and make a ruling, if they feel it had an effect on the outcome of the game then they can order the game to be replayed

What is the difference between designated for assignment and optioned for a player in baseball?

Once a player is added to a team's 40-man roster, they have three "option years" - players with option years remaining can be sent down to the minor leagues at no penalty. Once the option years expire, players must be "designated for assignment" if a team wants to send them to the minors, which removes them from the 40-man roster and places them on irrevocable waivers.

How do you fly fish?

Fly fishing can be done in a number of different types of water, including rivers, streams, lakes and saltwater. In order to fly fish, the angler uses a fishing rod designed to cast fly line which is rated by how much the first 30 feet of line weighs. A monofilament leader, usually 7 to 9 feet long (can be longer in some situations) is attached to the fly line, and a "fly" is attached to the end of the leader.

The rod is actually casting the weight of the line as most flies are not heavy enough to load up the rod that is needed to cast the fly out.

Fly casting is part of fly fishing and although it appears difficult, is not that hard once a person is taught the physical motions and physics that are applied to casting a fly rod.
