How fast did tom seaver pitch?
Yes. I watched the ABC Monday Night Baseball telecast of July 4th, 1977, and, in making one of his first starts for the Reds since coming in a trade from the Mets, Seaver threw a pitch to Atlanta's Biff Pocoroba that, according to announcer Bob Uecker, the JUGS gun timed at 101 mph. Pocoroba lined it for a double. Other pitchers working in the majors that year who reached 100 mph would have been Nolan Ryan, Rich Gossage, J.R. Richard, Jim Kern, John D'Acquisto, Terry Forster, and perhaps Bart Johnson, Jim Palmer, and Len Barker among others.

How far is it between the bases in Major League baseball?

Does ERA change if you play 7 innings?
ERA stands for Earned Run Average. The number of innings per game determines how ERA is calcuated. In Major League Baseball they play 9 innings so ERA is calculated with this equation, Earned Runs divided by 9. High School baseball (at least where I am located) plays 7 innings as a regulation length game. In this case a pitcher's ERA is Earned Runs divided by 7. In Little League the a regulation game is 6 innings, so ERA would be determined by Earned Runs divided by 6. If you are playing a game and it goes in to extra innings then a pitcher's ERA is not affected by the extra innings. If a regulation game is 6 innings, and the game goes into the seventh inning, then a pitcher's ERA is still determined by # of earned runs divided by 6. In summary ERA is ALWAYS determined by the amount of Earned Runs allowed divided by the number of innings played (not including extra innings).

Can you slide into first base in men's slow pitch softball?
You can slide into 1st base. Generally, it is not recommended. There are two scenarios where you may want to slide into first. 1) You have hit the ball and are running toward first. The first baseman is positioning to receive the throw. You can see that the throw is offline and the defender may try to tag you instead of touching the base, or the throw has put the defender in your basepath. You slide to avoid a tag or the defender. 2) You have a base hit and have rounded the bag. A throw is coming toward 1st base and you need to return. You may want to slide back to the bag to avoid the tag while off the base.

Did anyone ever hit a home run to center field at the Polo Grounds?
I hope this answers this question correctly. Lou Brock's first career home run was April 13, 1962 at Wrigley Field as a member of the Chicago Cubs. Brock hit this off of Ray Washburn of the St. Louis Cardinals. However, what you might be asking is how far did Brock's first home run at the Polo Grounds travel? Well in 1962 The Polo Grounds were with their 4th version of this stadium. Throughout the years the dimensions changed. In 1962 the distance to centerfield was 475 feet. On June 17, 1962, facing Al Jackson of the Mets, Brock became only the third player ever to hit a HR over the centerfield wall. This shot was estimated at 485 feet. --- Hank Aaron became the fourth player to hit one out in centerfield the very next day and topped Brock's shot by a few feet.

Can the runner in baseball advance after he is hit by a thrown ball and it goes out of bounds?
A batted ball that hits a runner is a "dead ball."
Another answer:If, however, the batted ball first touched a defensive player or umpire prior to being touched by the runner, the runner is not out and the ball is live.If the umpire calls interference on the runner, the ball is dead, the batter is awarded first base, and all runners return to the base they last occupied at the beginning of the play (not to the base they were about to go to at the time).
If a baseball game is stopped due to rain in the top of an inning can it be an official game?
In MLB, the team that is losing must have five full innings of at bats for the game to be complete. If the home team is ahead, the game can be called in the bottom of the fifth inning and it would be considered complete since the visiting team, who is losing, has had five full innings of at bats. If the home team is losing, the game can be called in the top of the sixth inning and it would be considered complete since the home team has had five full innings of at bats.
