Baseball

Depends on how you define as the "first baseball game." A 1791 ordinance in the town Pittsfield MA prohibited the playing of "baseball" within 80 yards of a town meeting hall, but there is no way of knowing the rules of that game. The first game using the "New York Rules" -- a game which eventually evolved into what is now what we call baseball -- was played in Hoboken NJ in 1845.

The story that baseball was invented in Cooperstown NY is complete bunk.

The Major League Baseball All-Star Game, known as the "Midsummer Classic" started in 1933 when Arch Ward, the sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, put together the first All-Star Game as a part of Chicago's Exposition that year. Since 1962 The MVP Award (Most Valuable Player) has been given to the most outstanding player of the All-Star Game. There were two winners this year. The winners of the 1975 MLB All Star Game MVP Award was Bill Madlock of the Chicago Cubs, and Jon Matlack of the New York Mets. The game played in Milwaukee was won by the National League 6-3.

Did you try google?

It was started by Amy Tobey who selected songs at Fenway Park during games from 1998-2004. She used the song a few times and got great fan response, so much so that she got very superstitious about it (as do many Red Sox fans). She would play the song somewhere between the seventh and ninth innings if the team was ahead, depending on whether she felt the team was going to win.

In 2002, when new management took over at the park, they requested that Tobey play the song during the eighth inning of every game. 'They liked it and they just loved the crowd reaction with it and stuff," she says. Though Tobey says she was nervous the change would be bad luck for the team, its appeal to fans ultimately ruled.

And under the song's spell, the Red Sox won their first World Series in 2004 after 86 years. It was even included in the recent film ''Fever Pitch," starring Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore, that uses scenes from 2004's winning season.

WES FERRELL HIT 9 DINGERS IN 1931, HE PLAYED FOR 7 DIFFERENT TEAMS, AND ALSO IS THE CAREER LEADER IN JACKS WITH 36, OF WHICH 34 CAME IN A 6 YEAR PERIOD, 31-36. THE LATE PITCHER WARREN SPAHN WAS NOT ONLY ONE OF THE BEST LEFT HANDERS EVER, HE WAS ALSO A GREAT HOME RUN HITTER ENDING HIS CAREER WITH 35!

Depends on wether or not they have a guaranteed contract.

No, and it probably won't be around for a while in baseball. Although instant replay has the support of about 50% of the teams (in the 2004 off season general managers meeting the issue came up and the 30 GMs voted 15-15 to implement a very limited use) Commissioner Bud Selig is against the use of instant replay. Selig has been quoted as saying "I just don't think instant replay would be a positive addition".

Baseball is a game where a pitcher throws the ball over the home plate and between the batter's knees to their lower chest. If the ball is not of those rules, the pitch is counted as a ball. If the batter swings at a ball, it is counted as a strike. 4 balls and it is a walk to 1st base and 3 strikes is a strikeout and the player is out as a batter. 3 outs and it is a changeover. When the batter hits it and it goes out of the field, it is counted as a Home run where the batter runs back to home base at any speed. If the ball bounces and then goes over, it is called a ground out and the batter is out.

The ball is made of compressed cork and is really hard. If the pitcher throws the ball and it hits the batter, it is a balk which is just advancing to 1st base. If someone is on 1st base and it is a walk, the 1st base moves to 2nd base and so on. The catcher at the back catches the strikes and balls. it is their responsibility to keep the umpire safe and the ball from going into the backstop. The bat is usually made of maple wood.

This is a tedious question to answer, so i will teach you to do it yourself.

1) go here: http://www.baseball-reference.com/play-index/inning_summary.cgi?year_game=2009&team_id=ANY

2) select a team from the dropdown box at the top

3) go down to the part where it says "runs scored by inning"

4) write down the number of runs scored in the first inning by each team, in an excel spreadsheet if possible

5) when you've done this for all 30 teams, sort by runs scored, and let me know who it is.

if they just faced the giants in the playoffs before the giants went to the world series then yeah

The Cincinnati Reds were the first "professional" team, beginning in 1869. Why quotation marks? Some say they were simple the first to admit they were paying their players.

The 1988 Baltimore Orioles lost the first 21 games of the season. They lost 7 games to the Indians, 6 to the Royals, 5 to the Brewers, and 3 to the Twins. Their first win came on April 29 against the Chicago White Sox.

Unless they're the participants in the 2018 World Series, they aren't scheduled to play against each other for a while. The last time the teams met in the regular season was from July 22-24, 2016 at Yankee Stadium. New York won the weekend series two games to one.

There was an episode of "Dirty Jobs" on the Discover Chanel about this. It is not the umpire that does it. It is a person that works for the home team of any given game. It is a very particular type of natural mud but i do not remember where it comes from. I have heard they prepare about 60 balls per game.

Why does "who" were their pants legs at the knees? If you mean some minor leaguers, in some cases the major league team dictates how its players must wear their pants on their minor league affiliates. All major leaguers don't wear their pants legs to the ankles. Some wear them only to their knees. There is no set rules for major leagues on where their pants legs must go. Most wear them where they feel most comfortable. Some players who wear their pants legs hige are Soriano of the Cubs, Berkman of the Astros, Varatek of the Red Sox. Some players change from game to game high sometimes, low at other times.
