Since the Seattle Mariners began operating in 1977 they have 114 outfielders listed on their all-time roster. How many played left field at one time or another would take a lot of research going through each daily box score of every game. It is safe to assume that many of the 114 played left field occasionally. Of course, the Mariners were not the first major league team in Seattle..an expansion team, the Seattle Pilots started MLB in Seattle and moved to Milwaukee in 1970 and became the Milwaukee Brewers.

In baseball jargon, to get "beaned" means to be hit by a pitch, typically in the head or helmet. This can happen accidentally or intentionally, and can result in serious injury depending on the speed and location of the pitch. Umpires are responsible for determining if a beaning was intentional and may eject players or issue warnings accordingly.

In MLB, the dimensions of the pitching rubber is 24 inches long by 6 inches wide.

WCGB stands for "Wild Card Games Behind" and until after Labor day is about as useful as knowing a team's record for Wednesday games in cities with a "D" in their name.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees play their home games in cities near an ocean.

I assume by this you mean curveballs so these all the ways to throw different curveballs:

Curveball: Grip the ball like a two-seam and then put your fingers off-center so they're on the right seam, then snap your wrist hard off to the side. This can be very damagaing to your elbow if you're not mature enough and if you throw to many of them, can still be damaging even if you're old enough.

12-6 Curveball: Take the curveball grip and then move the ball up so your fingers are on the right seam of the horseshoe. PRESET your wrist in a position as if you're throwing a football. Then come straight down. This is much more safe than a curveball although with your fingers off-center you will probably come off very slightly. I would still not recommend throwing it if your not old enough but you can most definetly throw it with hardly any risk once you're old enough to.

Spike Curveball: Take a four-seam grip and then curl your fingers back so your fingertips are pressed hard into the ball. Then move your hand up so your about 3-4 of the way up from the bottom seam to the top and then throw straight down. It will have movement like a 12-6. Most pitchers have more success with a 12-6 but others have a better spike so you should definitley try it. This is completely safe to throw at ALL ages.

Knuckle Curveball: Position your index and middle knuckles so that they're on the bottom of the horeshoe seam and the thumb underneath. As you release flick your fingers forward. This will have curveball-like movement and is safe to throw at ALL ages. However, it could seriously mess up your form so be careful of that.

One. Aaron was a member of the 1957 Milwaukee Braves team that defeated the New York Yankees in the World Series, four games to three.

A rosin bag is designed to keep your hands tacky so you have plenty of grip on the ball in Baseball.

I don't know what the "legal" umpire answer would be, but I do know that fastpitch bats are made lighter so they can be swung quicker. It seems like you would want to use a slowpitch bat in slowpitch for the extra power you would get from the extra weight of the bat.

There is no rule against it as long as the bat is an approved bat in the league you are playing in, i.e. ASA, USSSA, ISA, NSA.

Through the 2011 season, the Cardinals have played in 18 World Series and won 11 of them in the following years: 2011, 2006, 1982, 1967, 1964, 1946, 1944, 1942, 1934, 1931, and 1926.

Almost certainly, although most would never admit it due to the non-macho stigma often associated with that lifestyle. Soccer players are as dependent on their reputation and appearance as they are on their skills. While there is certainly nothing wrong with having a given sexual orientation or gender identity, not everyone is as tolerant.

Ichiro Suzuki hit 262 hits in 2004 baseball season.

By contract with the union for Major League Baseball Players Association, starting pay for a new player brought up from the minor leagues is at least $600,000.

This rate of pay is higher than for policemen, teachers and firefighters because baseball players are "entertainers" and are paid by privately owned baseball teams. The formerly mentioned jobs are vital ones, however, the pay is from taxpayers. This could not be funded by any local, State or Federal government.

The World Series MVP award was not first given out until 1955 so the answer is 'no one'.

Looking at the stats for the 1923 Series, won by the New York Yankees over the New York Giants 4 games to 2, ...

1) Second baseman Aaron Ward of the Yankees batted .417 on 10 hits in 24 at bats.
2) Right fielder Babe Ruth of the Yankees batted .368 (8 for 19), hit 3 home runs, and was walked 8 times.
3) Second baseman Frankie Frisch of the Giants batted .400 on 10 hits in 25 at bats.
4) Outfielder Casey Stengel of the Giants hit .417 (5 for 12) with 2 home runs.
5) Yankees pitcher Joe Bush pitched 16 2/3 innings to a 1.08 ERA, giving up only 7 base hits.
6) Giants pitcher Art Nehf pitched 16 1/3 innings to a 2.76 ERA, giving up only 10 hits.

Since the MVP award is almost always given to a player on the winning team, I will split it three ways and give it to Ward, Ruth, and Bush.

A cricket ball is between 5.5 and 5.75 ounces (155.9 and 163.0 g) in weight and 8 13/16 and 9 in (224 and 229 mm) in circumference.

A baseball is between 5 and 5.25 ounces in weight and 9 to 9.25 inches in circumference.

no. they can pick off to any runner or step off the rubber with their BACK foot. if there is a runner on third, he can step with FRONT foot to pick off to third if he does not step to home past the invisible line cutting from third to home at 45º. if he does it's a balk. he can turn and throw to second if there is a man there. in essence, no.

Right now in 3/23/2011 it is Manny Acta
