What is the highest price paid for a baseball?
In 1999 Mark McGwire's 70th home run baseball sold for 3 Million dollars. This sale was made before the steroid scandals came into the picture, and prices for historic home run baseballs have been going down ever since.
Barry Bonds 700th home run ball only sold for $102,000 in 2005, and the baseball Barry Bonds hit for his 70th home run of season only sold for $14,400 in 2007. This ball previously sold for $60,000. Steroid suspicions are hampering the value of collectible home run balls from more recent years.
The highest price paid for a non steroid related piece of baseball memorabilia is the famous "Gretzky T206 Honus Wagner" baseball card selling for $2.8 million in 2007. Wayne Gretzky and Bruce McNall bought the T206 Honus Wagner card in 1991 for $451,000., and sold it for $500,000. in 1995.

Are runs scored after a two out error earned or unearned?
Generally, any run, or runs' that score after an error occurs after two outs that would result in the third out of the inning, is an earned run. This is not necessarily true if the error that occured would not have resulted in the third out, i. e., a hit to the outfield, and the outfielder boots the ball and allows the hitter to advance another base, but the run would score even without the error, that run would be earned. As would all subsequent runs. In this, or similar situations, the scorer actually replays the inning without the error to determine which runs are earned.
Which player wore number 13 for the Philadelphia Phillies?
It depends, I think Shane Victorino is the best. You might like Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jason Werth, or maybe even Schmidt!! schimdt. Howard, and Utley are great if u like J. Werth well DONT! he is NOT good this year ok Victorino isn't GREAT but he is a Good hard working player. Roy Oswalt and Halladay this year are VERY good pitchers. IF Scott Rolen stayed he would be one of our best players. now that we have D. Brown we seem to be getting alot better! D. Brown to me is a HARD working player. Feliz and Valdez arnt my Favorite but to me they work pretty hard. Ibanez is GREAT he has a good reason to be on the Phils and that's because now he is Great, Hard working, and a AWESOME L fielder! shmidt actually was the best phillie they told on one of the phillies games i watched so ya hes probaly the best i can think of! R.Howard has ALOT of homers and he did it without the use of steroids! nor did C. Utley use steroids! NOBODY ON THE PILLIES USED THEM! My TOP FAV Phillie is Prabaly Chase, Ryan, or Mike. they are ALL great to me.and u might think that to. i can only give my opinion in this answer. P. Polanco is AWESOME!!! AND SO IS J. ROLL! he is GREAT to J. Roll once hit a 2 run walk off homer against the Indians and i ain't forgeting that! alright well that's all i got for NOW but soon this WILL get LARGE!!
