Baseball

Yes, but in 1991, they were removed and replaced with longer pants, by the board of safety for the MLB(MLBSD) because of threats to the players when sliding and playing in colder tempatures. When this change occured the Coach left the team because the shorter pants were his idea. He actually Brand Named them as White Sox Showers simply because the would show all the players Sox. The coach was outraged because he belived the pants gave the White Sox a distinct image and it fits perfectly with there name but MLBSD did not agree and the pants were changed.

Wrong! The question above is about wearing shorts on the ball diamond as part of the uniform, not sliding shorts. Sliding shorts are padded shorts worn under baseball pants to prevent injuries when sliding and diving into bases.

The Chicago White Sox actually did wear shorts on Aug. 8th, 1976 in the first game of a DH vs. Kansas City. It was the idea of the owner, who thought it would gain fans back to a team that lost 97 games. It failed miserably, leading to taunts from both the Royals players and White Sox fans. The team wore pants in the second game.

The distance from the pitcher's rubber to HB is 59 feet, or 60 feet and 6 inches to the back tip of home plate. The mound has an 18 foot diameter and is 10.5 inches tall at the pitcher's rubber, which is located 10 feet from the front of the mound and 8 feet from the back of the mound.

No, a baseball player applies a force in stopping the ball in his mitt, but there is no displacement so therefore no work is done.

Every game starts out with 72 baseballs. The average life of a baseball, is 6 putches, so if you take the average pitches thrown in a game 250 - 300, you get about 40 or 50 balls used in a game. A side note, every ball that will be used in a game has mud from Mississippi worked into the ball. This is why they are never bright white.

ToppsTown codes can only be used once. Furthermore, most of them are expired by now. Also, no one knows all the codes unless they have a card from a pack of 2010 Topps, because those are the only ways to get them.

All players have contracts - but it is the length of Major League service time that determines how that contract is done.

- A major leaguer can not become a free agent until he has accumulated 6 full years of major league service time.

- If that major leaguer has a minimum of three years of major league service, but less than six full years and does NOT sign a contract covering any of that time period (years 4,5,6 - i.e. Jason Bay). that player is eligible for binding arbitration in each of those seasons. In addition, the top 17% of major league players with the most ML service time, but totaling less than three full years are also arbitration eligible (known as "Super 2's").

- Players with less than three full years service time and do NOT qualify as Super 2 arb eligible? They are at the mercy of their team as to how much they will be paid. You will most likely read about this in the transaction line; "Team X renewed the contracts of Players Y & Z"

-In the arbitration process, the player submits a figure for his yearly salary, as does his team. After each side presents their case, the arbiter makes his decision and awards the case to either the player of the club. No compromise - either the player wins or the club wins.

Binding arbitration was approved by the owners some years ago to resolve contract disputes. The club chooses whether or not to offer arbitration to any of their free agents. If they do, and the played declines the offer - they are free to sign wherever they wish. However, if the player accepts arbitration, he is considered a signed player .... and like the old joke goes ... now all we have to do is argue about price.

Now, before the hearing comes up, the player and the club can still negotiate a deal. If they can come to terms, the hearing is called off. If not, then the process goes to conclusion.

Yes. As of now, the only "illegal" little league bats are the combat b1 and b2 due to their all composite structure.

If the ball remains in fair territory and the batter reaches base safely, it's called an infield hit.

If the ball stays in the infield, but rolls into foul territory, it's called a foul ball.

Anything else is an out.

When the ball hits the baserunner it is a dead ball at the runner the ball hit is out. The batter is credited with a single. Since the batter is given a single, any baserunner required to advance will advance, however, no runners ahead of the runner who was out will advance:

i.e bases loaded, the runner at 2nd is hit by the ball, the runner at 2nd is out, the runner at 1st goes to 2nd and the batter goes to first. the runner at 3rd does not get to advance, he will stay at 3rd, so the bases will remain loaded

runners at 2nd and 3rd, -- the ball hits the guy at 3rd base (while he is in fair territory), runner at 3rd is out, runner at 2nd returns to 2nd, and batter goes to first, you now have runners on 1st and 2nd

hope this helps

Rule 1.05 states:

"Home base shall be marked by a five-sided slab of whitened rubber. It shall be a 17-inch square with two of the corners removed so that one edge is 17 inches long, two adjacent sides are 8½ inches and the remaining two sides are 12 inches and set at an angle to make a point."

Rule 1.07 states:

"The pitcher's plate shall be a rectangular slab of whitened rubber, 24 inches by 6 inches."

Steroid use in Major League Baseball has been an ongoing problem for 20 years. However, the actual number of players who have used steroids is unknown, as names and accusations continue to surface.

I'm 99% sure that it's a baseball. I might be wrong though.

"work on your biceps triceps and pectorials to improve your swing or your quads to improve your stace" Wrong. Wrong. WRONG. Teenage boys are in no position to disseminate weightlifting advice, such as in the original answer. The asker, like all other people who engage in weightlifting, needs to strengthen their whole body with weightlifting, using compound lifts.

You can have up to 11 players on the field but most of the time you have 9. There is the pitcher,catcher,third basemen,short stop,second basemen,first basemen,left field,center field,and right field. The way you get up to 11 players is if you put some in right center and left center field. They are in between right and left field to play more players.

For the cubs I think only the cards and maybe Yankees stay at the ritz! Cards for sure! And every NBA team stays at the ritz

The series is the best of 5. In other words, whoever wins 3 games first. If both teams win 2 games, then there will be 5 games played. If one team dominates and wins the first three games, then there are only 3 games.

The all time MLB record is 680 innings by Will White of the 1879 Cincinnati Reds. White pitched 75 complete games that season and had a record of 43-31 with a 1.99 ERA.

Most: Europe most

Second Most: Mexico(Mexico is part of America)

Least: United States of America even with Beckham!!!!!!!!!

Kaka has a contract on the table worth £500,000 per week in the EPL for his new club Manchester City.. Football earnings are huge because a players career average lasts over 10 years and they can travel to different leagues to play and earn such as the EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Le Championat..etc.. (contrast this with Gridiron as there is only NFL for Gridiron players and the average NFL career lasts 3 years where they earn average $770,00 per year until they are pushed out by surplus due to the draft.. and they have nowhere else to play as the likes of NFL Europe collapsed due to zero interest)

I am sure you would like to know how much they make in each region.

In top European Leagues, players are paid between $50,000 to $7,000,000-8,000,000. But on average, most make less than 1,500,000. Stars are paid the large salaries.

The same cane be said about Mexico. However, the top salary in Mexico is $2,200,000. Most players in Mexico make $400,000 on average.

The United States of America pays very little in comparison. $27,000 - $300,000. Most players earn about $60,000 per year. Though Beckham is the exception as he rakes in est $50 million yearly.

Europe of course. teams like Manchester united, Chelsea, real Madrid pump out an average of £42m every year. the highest paid footballer in the world is now John terry(Chelsea) rakin in £150k a week.

It changes rapidly as new multi billionaires enter football regularly...Manchester City have just been taken over by the worlds richest family from Abu Dhabi...Robinho signed a yearly contract for $15.9 million...footballs finances are escalating and in particular the EPL as the worlds biggest sports league
