When did Jim Waugh and Nick Koback of the Pittsburgh Pirates play against the Chicago Cubs in Chicago?

Jim Waugh and Nick Koback were teammates on the 1953 Pirates. Waugh was on the 1953 Pirates for the entire season and Koback debuted for the Pirates on July 29 against the Cardinals. I was not able to find box scores for any 1953 games but was able to find schedules. The Pirates played the Cubs in Chicago July 31, August 1, August 2, and September 9. Koback played only 7 games for the Pirates in 1953 and only 16 games in his entire MLB career. I can't be 100% absolutely sure, since box scores are not readily available, but I would guess that the two players were on the Pirates for the July 31 - August 2 series against the Cubs in Chicago.

A ball thrown at 55mph will take ~.558 seconds to go 45 feet.

So, the 55mph pitch from 45 feet is simulating 66mph from 54 feet.

What is the price of a bat that costs 19 more than a baseball and they both cost 31?

Bat - Baseball = 19 Bat + Baseball= 31

You can add the two equations together to get

2 * Bat = 50.

Divide by 2, and find

Bat = 25.

So 25 - Baseball = 19, which makes

Ball = 6.

Check your work with the other equation:

25 + 6 = 31.

So we have it right.

Finally, go back to the question and make sure you answer what's asked.

What's the price of the bat? 25.
