Who are better Red Sox or dodgers?
The Yankees are the best team history wise and are slowly gaining back their reputation. They have had a rough start the past years but they are slowly making a comeback. Red Sox have very little history on competing Yankees when it comes to winning world championships, as they only have 7 world series cups while the Yankees have over 26. Yes, they have 26. The sad thing is, is that because the Red Sox can't hold a candle to Yankee's history, Red Sox fans will edit questions like these (and I am predicting that this will be edited in the next hour) with sayings like "YANKEES SUX GO RED SOX!!!!!!!111". Facts are facts Red Sox fans, get over it and leave it be.

Overrunning first base after a hit. ater reaching can a runner turn left?
Yes, anytime a runner turns towards 2nd he has "made an attempt to advance" and can be tagged out like any other baserunner. When running to first if you over run the base you will want to either turn to the right and go into foul territory to return to 1st base or turn directly around and go back to 1st base, in these instances, even if you are tagged you are NOT out. If you take even one step to the left towards 2nd, and you are tagged going back to 1st base you ARE out

Why don't teams shift right handed hitters the way they shift lefties?
The main issue is that first base is on the right side, so you can't apply the same shift to a righty as you would to a lefty. A real dramatic shift on a left handed hitter like Ryan Howard has the third baseman playing at about the shortstop position, the shortstop playing closer to the second baseman's usual position, the second baseman playing in right field, the right fielder playing in very deep right field, and the first baseman guarding the line. You can't do the same for a righty. On a right handed pure pull hitter, the third baseman may guard the line, the shortstop will move towards third, and the second baseman will be behind the bag. But the first baseman must be close enough to first to handle a throw. And the shortstop can't play in left field, because he'd be too far away from first base to throw the guy out. So you can't shift a righty nearly as dramatically as you can shift a lefty.
