Why is the right field foul pole at Fenway Park called the Pesky Pole?

Red Sox pitcher Mel Parnell (himself immortalized in Terry Cashman's Talking Baseball) immortalized his teammate Johnny Pesky by dubbing the right field foul pole in Fenway Park the Pesky Pole, after Pesky won a game for Parnell with a home run near the pole. The pole is just 302 feet from home plate. Pesky was a slap hitter, and his bloop would have been a routine fly out in most other parks (just as Bobby Thompson's "Shot Heard Around the World" would have been a routine fly out in any stadium besides the Polo Grounds). Parnell made the name stick after he became the Red Sox broadcaster.

What is the value of a signed Mickey Mantle baseball that is stamped 1994 World Series?

Mickey Mantle signed very few Gene Budig baseballs which came into use in 1995, the year Mantle died. He was also very ill that year and didn't sign often. Although it is possible to have one it is unlikely, and should at least send up a red flag as to it's authenticity.

As far as a Mickey Mantle signed 1994 World Series Baseball. These baseballs were issued the last year before Mantles passing, and might hold some extra value as to being one of his last signatures. Some collectors might desire this and drive the price up, but not by much.

A Mickey Mantle single signed baseball is worth about $400.-$600. Price will vary based on condition, and type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Rare examples of pristine signatures or inscriptions like "The Mick" "HOF 1974" or 536 HR's" could raise the price to the $1,000. price range. Personal inscription like "Good luck Mike" could sell below $400. A rarely signed full name signature "Mickey Charles Mantle" will break the $2,000 price mark as it did in a May 5th 2007 live eBay auction selling for $2,390.

After condition the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature will dictate the price. Mickey Mantle was under contract with the Upper-Deck company before he passed away. Baseballs that have the Upper deck hologram could sell in the $1,000.-$1,500. price range. signatures that have not been authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.

How many baseball games have gone 14 innings or more without a run scored?

This is a bit tricky to research, but since 1954, there have been 59 games which have lasted 14 innings or longer and one team or the other was shut out.

This doesn't include a game in which, say, it was a scoreless tie for 15 innings, then in the 16th each team scored one run, then the game ended in the 18th 2-1, but it gives you a good idea that such a game happens about once or twice a year.

Can a person who never played baseball know more about baseball than a baseball player?

That depends. Do you mean any given baseball player, or the smartest, most studious baseball player? If you mean the smartest non-player vs. the smartest player, no. If you mean the smartest non-player vs. just anyone who has played the game, then yes. ---- I agree, yet, this is quite a philosophical question. I would sugest that experience pays great dividends in anything. In a sport as complex as baseball, experience is really needed to know the in's and out's of the game. That is not to say that a non-player can't be extreamly knowledgeable. == == Well actually the person who has never played baseball can be smarter than a baseball player if that person who never played baseball studied baseball alot. No some one that has never played dosent know more just because you have to play it to get to really know it ANSWER: Anything is possible but i think it is less likely for a non-baseball player to know more than a player _________________________________________ Same. I truly agree. I play baseball myself and im pretty sure people can out wit me. ---- I agree too. I play baseball and I'm on my high school team and everything but it really helps me when my coach yells out pointers. My coaches have not played baseball. Yea i know a lot of people that might know more
