Denny McLain, who won 16 straight road games in 1968.

call the owner and ask him if you can

Since 10-22-09 there has been 130 playoff games.

As of this posting (09-18-2012), no one has ever done it. Only four players have done 40/40 and that wasn't even achieved until 1988 when Jose Canseco did it.

Although... I have done it on the Playstation several times... =]

'Player Option' is a term for a clause written into a player's contract that allows the player to extend the length of the contract for one year at a predetermined salary.

If the player decides not to extend the contract, or 'pickup the option', the contract ends and the player becomes a free agent and can negotiate a new contract with any team.

Just like a player option, contracts may also contain a 'team option'. This is a clause written into a contract similar to the player option except the team gets to decide whether they would like to extend the player's contract by one year for a predetermined salary.

Lou Gehrig holds the record for most grand slams in a career at 23, but Alex Rodriguez has a reasonable chance of breaking that.

Check the link below for a list of every MLB player who has hit at least two grand slams in a career. This includes Tony Cloninger, a pitcher who hit two grand slams in one game -- and hit only nine other home runs in his entire career.

Aproximately 1500 players are drafted each year into the minor leagues. With the average career length of a MLB player being about 5.6 years, it should take about 5.6 years worth of drafts to fill every team. Since MLB careers can last from a single day to over 20 years, you can see that the one day is much much more common. The amount of players that play for a team even a single day each year varies wildly. But I think going by the 40 man roster size is a good average esitmate and ends up at about a 14.3% chance of a player from single-A making a MLB roster at some point. To make a regular 25 man spot on a roster is a bit less at about 8.9%.

You're probably thinking of Roberto Clemente, who was definitely the first foreign-born Hispanic elected, but some earlier Hall-of-Famers may have also been Hispanic, but kept it a secret.

C Johnny Bench of the Cincinnati Reds was the 1968 NL Rookie of the Year.

There are tons of rules, many I don't even know and I am a pitcher. I have been called on these:

The play is over only when the pitcher has the ball on the mound in the circle.

You cannot start a pitch then stop.

You cannot throw the ball into your glove when on the mound, some umpires believe this looks like you are trying to pitch.

You cannot alter the ball in any way- this includes rubbing it in the dirt.

You cannot start your pitch in front of the rubber.

When a batter is hit with the pitch, he/she automatically gets to go to first.

No. He had one of the fastest pitches ever, but not the fastest. Bob Feller, a hall of famer, who played for the Cleveland Indians from 1936-1941, served in the navy from 1941-1945, then came back and finished his carreer with the Indians from 1945-1956, had the fastest fastball ever clocked at 107.9 mph.

Cy Young had 316 career losses. He also had the most wins, complete games, innings pitched, and pretty much every other career record associated with longevity.

It had been played, under various names since before the Revolutionary War. If you want organized ancestor to what is played today, that would be 1845, the New York Knickerbocker Baseball Club. & the first professional team was the Cincinnati Red Legs in 1869.

Manny Trillo, one of my favorite Cubs, wore it both times he played for them.

LA Angels And LA Dodgers

it varies, from under 300 feet to well over 400 feet.

Felix Hernandez, JA Happ, Roy Halladay, Matt Cain and Justin Verlander all won in 7 straight appearances this season, although Happ's streak included two relief appearances.

You can't really be inducted twice as a player. To answer the spirit of your question though - would a player, say, Ted Williams, be inducted twice is he followed his Hall-of-Fame worthy career by an equally Hallworthy career as a manager? The answer is, no.
