Baseball

A K in baseball is shorthand for a strikeout.

Because the National League has been in existence longer than the American League ... the National League's first season as a major league was 1876 and the American League's first season as a major league was 1901.

The salaries for players on the Cincinnati Red Stockings, the first professional baseball team, ranged from $800 to $1400 per year. In 1869, this was a good salary.

Clay Buchholz is number 11 on the Boston Red Sox.

Bobby Richardson played in 12 games at third base for the New York Yankees in 1959, starting in none of them. He played for a total of 76 outs, equivalent to 2.81 9-inning games.

He made 2 putouts, had 3 assists, and committed no errors, equivalent to 0 errors per 9-inning game. He had no double plays.

Rich McKinney played in 33 games at third base for the New York Yankees in 1972, starting in 32 of them. He played for a total of 769 outs, equivalent to 28.48 9-inning games.

He made 17 putouts, had 71 assists, and committed 8 errors, equivalent to .281 errors per 9-inning game. He had 5 double plays.

The volume of the ball, right? You can measure the ball's diameter, divide by 2 to get the radius, then use the formula for the volume of a sphere. If you find it difficult to measure the diameter, you can also measure the circunference, and divide that by (2 x pi) to get the radius.

The list is innumerable.

It is not unusual for Triple A teams to have the same name as the MLB team that uses the former as its farm team. This would include the Pawtucket Red Sox, Gwinnett Braves, Iowa Cubs, and the Campeche Pirates. Thus, MANY players who worked their way up through a farm system -- or went down for a rehab assignment -- played for a AAA team and a MLB with the same name.

Just for the Red Sox, we can name Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens, and Manny Ramirez.

Several former baseball players had the initials D B.

Don Baylor, Dusty Baker and Dante Bichette are a few.

That would be Frank Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles in 1966. He led the league with 49 home runs, 122 RBI, and a batting average of .316, while his team swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in 4 games.

Cecil Fielder played first base for the Detroit Tigers, but played one game in the outfield, in right field. He also occasionally played the DH spot. (Designated Hitter)

Graig Nettles (born August 20, 1944 in San Diego, California) played for the New York Yankees for 11 seasons of a 22-season career.

Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees against the Philadelphia Athletics on June 3, 1932.

Hideo Nomo has 123 career MLB wins.

Chan Ho Park has 124.

Byun-hyun Kim has 54.

Tomo Ohka has 51.

Daisuke Matsuzaka comes close, with 49.

There may be others -- Asian pitchers in American MLB are no longer unusual.

Yastrzemski, Carl (1)

Reggie Jackson, also known as Mr. October, was the highest paid player, having won the World Series the year before, and eventually the 1978 World Series too. There were no multi-year contracts back then.

The oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball (MLB) history that is no longer around is Union Grounds in Brooklyn, New York, which William Cammeyer enclosed and began charging admission in during the 1862 season.

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman signed a 3 year contract for the 2009-2011 seasons with the terms kept secret. It is known that his previous 3 year contract, running between the 2006-2008 seasons, was worth $5.4 million or $1.8 million per season. That would put his current contract's value at around $6 million to $6.5 million or $2 million or so per season.

The 1929 Yankees uniform numbers were the same as their spot in the batting order to begin the season : 1 Earle Combs, 2 Mark Koenig, 3 Babe Ruth, 4 Lou Gehrig, 5 Bob Meusel, 6 Tony Lazzeri, 7 Leo Durocher, and 8 Johnny Grabowski. The pitcher batted ninth.
