Who has the right of way on the base path in Major league baseball?
A player can run out of the path (for instance, while rounding the bases) as long as there is not a possible play. Once there is a possible play, the runner must be within 3-4 feet of the base path.
Baseball rules provide that a runner is out when he is struck by a batted ball (provided the ball was not touched by a fielder first). All other runners return to the base they occupied at the time of the pitch. However, the batter is awarded first base and all runners that have to advance because of this advance. The Official Baseball Rules are 5.09(f) and 7.08(f).
Hockey baseball basketball football which is the oldest?
It depends on what you define as oldest, but you should probably consider the ancient Greek Olympics, where the did weight lifting, discuss throwing, and running. I would say the oldest of all professional sports is running, because humans have probably been racing each other for thousands and thousands of years.
Can pitcher make a error in baseball?
Yes. If the official scorer deems that an out would have been made had another fielder not made an error after the player who would have gotten the assist played the ball, the assist is given.
If the first baseman drops a throw from an infielder that would have made an out on a ground ball, the infielder is given an assist and the first baseman is given an error. If the catcher throws a perfect strike to second base to catch a runner stealing and the second baseman drops the ball allowing the runner to be safe when he would have been out by five feet, the catcher is given an assist and the second baseman is given an error.
What are the odds of a runner on second scoring with no outs in the ninth?
I have seen answers that range from 75% to 85%, but you can't go by those kinds of odds. Odds in baseball are completely different than, say, poker or craps. With poker, you always have 52 cards in a deck and the number never changes. With craps, the dice faces never change.
In baseball, your odds are determined by the abilities of at least six (Pitcher, Catcher, Batter 1, Batter 2, Batter 3, Base Runner on second) and up to thirteen (the remaining fielders) or more (Batter 4 if one of the other batters is walked) players.
Just some factors:
Is the pitcher on his "A" game? And even if so, is he an ace or mediocre?
The batting averages of the upcoming batters.
Are any of those batters hot or cold?
If NL, Will the pitcher be batting?
What are the fielding percentages of the players behind the pitcher?
Will the pitcher intentionally walk the next batter to try and create a force-out situation?
Who was the last Cleveland Indians pitcher with 20 wins?

How much do professional woman baseball players make?
There truly are not any "professional" women's fastpitch players in the USA as of 2013. A few USA players may be considered "professional" - the ability to support oneself playing a singular sport - but only by playing the USA "off-season " in a Japanese or European league.
Aside from the few lucky ladies playing overseas or announcing for ESPN, women fast pitch players usually receive three month contracts in the $4,000 - $8,000 range depending upon position and name recognition. And no - I didn't miss any "0's"!
If you consider "respect" and "visibility" part of a player's pay, then Team USA is still the best "paying" League. Although, the softball world needs to question how long that may continue with softball out of the Olympics for at least two generations of premier players.
Aside from playing for Team USA, it is debatable if there is another "professional" league in USA women's softball. National Pro Fastpitch, Women's Major League Softball International and Dynasty All-Stars have all advertised as "professional" leagues, but all have experienced financial, popularity and continuity issues.
The highest paid players are those that play because they love the game and compete to the best of their ability every time they are on the field.
Most of this statement is correct. However the US does have a professional fastpitch league. It is the National Pro Fastpitch. The players have a salary range from $5,000 to $15,000 per season. The league is growing rapidly and will be a great place for top college talent to continue playing in a competitive environment.

Is a baseball grip bad for golf?
Im a beginner, and i am currently using baseball grip, even though everyone is telling me to use interlocking from the start. I think the reason that i am using baseball grip is that my right hand is very lazy. I find that when im gripping the club, my right hand moves more towards the back of the grip ie, away from the target, so that at impact it feels like my right hand is behind the behind the club. I have to say that i am hooking and topping alot, so it is not an ideal situation. To compensate for this i am not swinging a full swing. My main problem is that when i use the interlocking grip, i feel that i cannot hinge my wrists at the end of my backswing. So, to answer the question, everyone will advise that interlocking is best. Baseball in my opinion is used a lot by beginners. But i have to say that despite the fact that i currently use it, i dont feel that my game will improve much until i get that right hand steadied and the right palm covering my left thumb. To do that i feel that i need to evolve to interlocking at some point. So, baseball is not necessarily bad for golf, but it may limit your development.

In baseball What is it called when there is a line drawn to 1 2 3 and home base?
The lines that are drawn in white from home to 1st and home to 3rd, and in both cases all the way past the two bases to the outfield walls, are called the foul lines. There is no line drawn on the field from 1st to 2nd, nor 2nd to 3rd.
Can a baseball team trade their draft picks?
Draft picks cannot be traded. In addition, a player once drafted cannot be traded until 1 year to the day after signing. This explains a lot of times when a player is traded for a player to be named later, (Jeremy Bonderman was a player to be named later in the Jeff Weaver trade in 2003 because Bonderman signed on August 2, 2002 but Weaver was traded on July 6, 2003 so Oakland had to wait until August 2, 2003 to trade him so he was called a player to be named later)
