Torre, who never appeared in a World Series as a player, earned four championship rings as the manager of the New York Yankees (1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000).

It depends, a team might have reserved baseball jerseys from maybe 1984 or 1968 for e.g. So maybe about 5-7 jerseys(3 for minimum, away jersey, home jersey, pre season jersey).

In other words, baseball players have around five to seven jerseys. They always have at least three; home, away, and alternate (preseason). In addition, there may be some days where the entire team wears a commemorative jersey. The best players also get an All-Star jersey for the Midsummer Classic.

Additionally, baseball players may receive a patch on their jersey. For example, during the 2009 World Series, the Yankees had AL Pennant patches on their shoulder, and the Phillies had NL Pennant patches.

The Rangers Josh Hamilton with a bat speed of 110-115 mph.

That was August 24, 1940 against the Detroit Tigers, a game the Red Sox lost 12-1. Williams pitched the final two innings giving up 3 hits and 1 run with 1 strikeout and 0 walks.

In 18 U Gold softball and collegiate softball, the distance from the plate to the pitching mound is 43 feet. This is because the pitchers at these levels throw much faster than the pitchers in the lower levels. In high school at 14U - 18U the pitching distance is 40 feet. Notice there is a difference between 18U and 18U Gold level.

You can, but most players don't. If the helmet is too big, wearing your cap under it is a good way to make it fit better though.

Jeff Kent holds the record for the most Homeruns hit as a 2nd basemen, he hit 351 Homeruns while playing 2nd base for the Mets, the Giants, the Astros and the Dodgers.

David Price, Wade Davis, Matt Garza, James Shields, and Jeff Niemann.

A base hit is any action by a player that allows him to safely reach first base or any succeeding base without the benefit of any defensive error. Thus, a home run is a base hit, as are triples and doubles. A more precise definition can be found in Major League Baseball Rule 10.05, which can be found at http:/mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/official_rules/foreword.jsp.

This poem was created to inspire the young baseball player with the excitement and realism of the game.

That was Dave Stieb of the Toronto Blue Jays. Incredibly, two of those games came in successive starts (September 24, 1988 against the Indians and September 30, 1988 against the Orioles). The third came August 4, 1989 against the Yankees.

I heard at my school's freshmen baseball team, you should pitch around 70 mph, so I guess around 70 or more.

First off it is not always about velocity. Understanding location. having movement and changing speeds is equally if not more important when playing high school ball or any level ball for that fact. Having said that, as a trainer of pitchers it is equally important that you have the proper mechanics that will allow you to throw more than a couple innings and maintain both movement and location. But if you are looking for an answer on velocity, I have trained 12 year olds that throw in the upper 60 low 70s and I have trained very dominate pitchers who are 15 and 16 who throw in the mid 70s and low 70s but have great plate presence and an off speed pitch that makes their fast ball seem like it is 10 miles an hour fast than it is.

If I can give you one piece of advice, Learn how to throw the pitch you need that gets the result you want. If that is a ground ball to short or a pop up to the infield than that is when you become a pitcher. Strike outs happen, inning ending double plays are created. If you learn this, you will be successful as a pitcher.

For travel purposes. Monday and Thursday are the travel days and 3 game series fit into this.

A 100.9 mph pitch would reach homeplate in .41 seconds. A 90 mile per hour fastball would take an extra .04 seconds.

NO!!! baseball is as athletically challenging as basketball of football but it takes a lot more skills and mental toughness to excel at baseball. for example all baseball players have to be able to run, throw, hit (except AL pitchers) jump and catch. while in football everything is specialized. only 1 player has to be able to throw, receivers can barely run with the ball and 5 guys on offense (lineman) who's 40 times shouldn't even be taken. also baseball is a game of failure. if you get a hit 3 times out of every 10 for long enough your going to the hall of fame but in basketball if you got 30% from the field you aren't wining many games even going 30% from 3 point range is considered bad. all this makes baseball a very hard game to play.

p.s. only in baseball can a player go from in the running for the CY Young award (pitchers version of mvp) to in the minor leagues in less then 2 yrs ( Dontrelle Willis)!

Since barry bonds just surpassed him the former all time leader hank the hammer aaron would be #2

There is a total of nine innings in a game of baseball. However, if the game is tied at the end of nine innings, then the game can go into extra innings.

This guy named Chandler Lanier influenced Sammy Sosa when he was young. Chandler was the best baseball player he had ever seen.

the most famous thing that Roberto clemente did was to collect 3,000 hits

In MLB, 154.
