What is the difference between bunting and hitting in baseball?
I am a softball player. Let me say first, bunting is basically half the swing as hitting. Hitting consists of swinging a bat across your entire body. Bunting, you swing 180 degrees and stop and let the ball hit your bat. Bunting makes the ball go in play at a small distance; hitting the ball can make your ball go anywhere!
When does a MLB team have to play a day game?
When the schedule so dictates, barring inclement weather, or any such event that would preclude play.
Further to that, there are certain factors that prohibit the scheduling of a night game, due to broadcast rights and city ordinances. For example, on Sunday evening, ESPN has exclusive broadcast rights, so all other games must be day games. Also in Chicago's Wrigleyville neighborhood, a city ordinance prohibits night games on Friday and Saturday, excepting a nationally televised game.

Why baseball should be the best? You get payed the most money..that matters to some people but not me..You have to be real strong to hit the ball 400 feet out of a stadium...it looks so awesome on T.V. You get great hits, great dives and catches, fans everywhere chearing you on, and it was the first American sport[wich was usually cricket], and it is very fun when u play it. Soccer is just kicking and blocking BIG DEAL!! football is easley you can get hurt, and it is not as fun as baseball really if you watch a normal season game of football its going to get boring...Not BASEBALL....face it ITS THE BEST!!!
It's like you sit and watch for 1/2 hour , and the minute you leave the room, somebody hits a home run. It's boring AND frustrating.
