It's difficult to attribute the invention of the fastball to a single person, as it has likely been used by players since the early days of baseball.

360 ft i think.

its 90 ft from home to first so multiply it by 4!! 90X4=360 (im not positive!!) Answer #2 But you are correct, at least for professional baseball.

1) Ballparks are much smaller now than they used to be. 100 years ago it was not uncommon for the centerfield fence to be 500 feet or more from home plate. It was as much as 400 feet down the lines.

2) Gloves are much more flexible than before. Baseballs are changed constantly where 100 years ago if a baseball was fouled into the stands, the fans were expected to throw it back onto the field so it could be used again. Players used bats that weighed as much as 48 ounces. Today, players use bats that weigh around 34-36 ounces.

3) Pitchers pitch fewer innings than they used to. 100 years ago it was not uncommon to see pitchers throw close to 400 innings in a season.

4) Most games are at night. 100 years ago all games were played during the day ... there were no lights for night games.

Sterile gloves are packaged pre-cuffed (the wrist part of the glove turned inside-out). Using your dominant hand, pinch the cuff of the corresponding glove for your non-dominant hand. Holding the glove so that the fingers hang straight down will help keep the fingers open. Remember that if a sterile item is brought below waist-level, it is no longer sterile. Work your non-dominant hand into the glove. Do not attempt to reposition the fingers of the glove if it is not correctly placed (ex: two fingers in one spot) you can readjust the fit when both gloves are on. To pick up the glove for the dominant hand, take your gloved hand and slide it underneath the cuff of the glove. Sterile to sterile glove contact is acceptable. Work your dominant hand into the second glove. Now you can repositions fingers. Do not bother to reposition or unfold cuffs at the wrist due to the risk of contaminating your sterile gloves. One aspect of wearing sterile gloves that is difficult if you are new to the concept of sterility is remembering not to touch anything that is non-sterile. This is why you must set up your "sterile field' before you begin. One thing that helps me (I'm in nursing school) is to interlock my fingers as I wear sterile gloves to remind me that I can't simply reach up and readjust patient's curtains like I normally would!

The only starting pitcher to lose a complete-game no-hitter was Ken Johnson of the Houston Colt 45s (pre-Astros), who lost to Cincinnati 1-0 on April 23, 1964. Johnson's throwing error allowed Pete Rose to get to second with one out in the top of the ninth. Chico Ruiz moved Rose to third on a ground ball, and second baseman Nellie Fox's error on a grounder by Vada Pinson let Rose score the game's only run.

Steve Barber (8 2/3 innings) and Stu Miller (1/3 inning) of the Baltimore Orioles lost a no-hitter to Detroit 2-1 on April 30, 1967. The Tigers got both their runs when Barber walked Norm Cash and Ray Oyler to start the top of the ninth. Earl Wilson (who started for Detroit and got the win) bunted them over. After Willie Horton popped up, Barber threw a wild pitch, which let Dick Tracewski (running for Cash) score to make it 1-1. Miller came in to pitch to Don Wert, whose ground ball was booted by shortstop Mark Belanger, allowing Jake Wood (running for Oyler) to score the go-ahead run.

Many players can hit a 3 wood farther than a driver. Because of the very low loft on the driver, it's necessary to hit the ball with high club head speed and with a slight upswing at impact. If you're not doing both of those things, a higher lofted club will give you better distance AND better control. You might benefit from a higher lofted driver. They are available in 12 to 15 degree lofts now.

A lower ERA is better in baseball because it reflects how many earned runs a pitcher allows on average per nine innings pitched. A lower ERA indicates better performance by the pitcher in preventing runs from scoring.
