Are you talking about the Greg Landry who got drafted out of the Univ. of Texas? He was a transfer and played one year for Gus. I think he was a 5th or 6th rounder. He would have played in the 1988-89 season I believe. He had some incredible raw talent. Could throw 92-93 but couldn't control it.

CC made $24,285,714 in 2010, pitching in 237.2 innings (34 games). The average number of pitches per inning is about 17, which means Sabathia threw about 4032.4 pitches. That will give us his salary per pitch, which is about $6022.65

Near as I can recall, none. Obviously all the central teams have been in two. -Detroit, and Cleveland have been in the east too. -White Sox, and Minnesota, (and KC?) have been in the west too. I think all the west teams have always been in the west, and all the current east teams have always been in the east. Note this answer encompases my lifetime, from 1973, and a good deal of time before that too, I believe. Go far enough back in time, then I may be wrong. Are people just guessing answers or providing facts? The answer is the Milwaukee Brewers. The Milwaukee Brewers were in the AL West (1969 as the Seattle Pilots; 1970-1971 as Milwaukee Brewers), East (1972-1993; in 1972 the Washington Senators became the Texas Rangers and swapped East / West with Milwaukee), and Central (1994-1997). Milwaukee moved to the NL Central in 1998.

It makes it easier to call a home run or a foul ball. The call is made by standing on the baseline and looking into the outfield, but the ball is small and mistakes can be made. By putting the screen up the ball that doesn't hit the screen is usually so far fair that its easy to make the call. Since home runs generally 'hook' around the pole, the screen extends from the foul pole into fair ground because if it hooks foul, it also tends to be fairly obvious. If the ball HITS the foul pole its fair and that also tends to be obvious too, usually the deflection is immediately noticed. Mistakes still get made though. I have seen a play where a player hit a short home run over the left field wall which bounced back out, and was fielded by the left fielder. The ball was definitely gone on the replay, but the umpire somehow had a poor view of the play. The way the ball bounced looked more like a shot off the outfield wall than a home run.

Mark Bellhorn of the Chicago Cubs in the fourth inning of a game on August 29, 2002 and Carlos Baerga of the Cleveland Indians in the seventh inning of a game on April 8, 1993 are the only two players that have hit home runs from both sides of the plate in the same inning.

All baseballs for official game use from Little League to the Major Leagues are the same. They are the same diameter, weight and materials. The differences are largely manufacturing differences. An official Major League Baseball goes through a more rigorous quality control process before it is accepted than a Little League ball.

You will see flaws like wrinkles in the leather, stitching that is not uniform is higher (even within the same lot of balls) or flat spots on the ball often in Little League or Babe Ruth League balls that you would be hard pressed to find on a Official Minor or Major League Baseball.

There are certain youth Little Leagues that will use a reduced injury ball that has a core that makes it somewhat spongy and this would be the only exception. Bottom line is all real baseballs are the same.

In Texas, I believe Middle School uses a 70-foot diamond...same as PONY.
