Who is the New York Yankees AAA team?
For the 2011 season, that would be the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees of the International League. They became the Yankees AAA affliate in 2007 after spending 18 seasons (1989-2006) as the AAA affliate of the Philadelphia Phillies.
Del Ennis is in left Richie Ashburn is center but who is in right field?
In reviewing baseball references, the answer in 1950, the year of the Whiz Kids, would have been Dick Sisler. Sisler was also an All-Star that year. Here is a link to his baseball statistics: http://www.baseball-reference.com/s/sisledi01.shtml
I think you will find that in 1950, the Phillies outfield consisted of Sisler in LF, Ashburn in CF and Del Ennis in RF.
Sisler started 137 games in left, Ashburn started 147 games in center, and Ennis started 140 games in right in the 1950 season.

What is the cost of a Japanese baseball game ticket?
A Hanshin Tiger game is approximately 43 dollars per ticket as of June 2009. There are probably more and less expensive tickets, but that is the price I was given using an online broker.
What machines are used to make baseballs?
The present day ball stitching machines, are used as a thread tightening device. The stitching thread control device tightly clamps the stitching thread for manufacturing the finished baseball so that the worker only needs to use minimum force to pull and set the stitches on balls. The operation of this device is convenient for workers.
In the past Baseball Stitching clamps were used. This device was used to secure the baseball during the process of sewing on the cover by hand. In the early days the clamps were made of wood by locale woodworkers or carpenters, and later made of metal. The baseballs were both sewn at the factories or at home, the work done mostly by women.
Two pieces of figure-eight-shaped cowhide is dampened to permit pliability and placed around a string wound core, then placed in the stitching clamp. The covers are stapled together to hold in place for stitching. The baseball is then hand-stitched together with 216 raised stitches. It takes about 13-14 minutes to hand sew a baseball.
For more information on Baseball Stitching clamps, along with pictures I will leave a link below. -Steven KeyMan

no. the batter can stay in the batters box as long as they dnt move when someone is stealing third base. if the batter tried to block the catcher tho by moving, the bater is out. if the catcher hits the batter and the batter is still standing in the batters box, and the catcher throws to third base and the third baseman tags the runner the runner is still safe.
The catcher and the umpire (at a baseball game.)
In certain stadiums people aren't cleared out for that reason. Instead of clearing people out, if time allows, a band or something of that nature will perform.
When a throw is made to a base where there is no force out, the throw has to be catchable to avoid the runner taking more bases on an overthrow or an error. So a throw must be placed some distance above the ground for the position player to make a play on the ball. This gives the base runner the opportunity to slide under the throw and touch the base with either his hand or foot.
So I guess in short a slide is intended to get under the throw.
