What's the difference between a baseball and a softball?
Some golf balls are made for soft feel and spin, others are made for distance and control. Some are made for both of those things, and some are just made as cheap as possible.
Softer balls will spin more which gives people who are skilled more control over the ball when hitting into greens.
Harder balls will go farther and spin less which gives less skilled players help with controlling the ball. For more detail go to the link below on how to buy golf equipment.

How much money does it take to water a whole baseball field?
Answering this question can be resolves by determining the primary variables behind irrigating athletic fields. The first factor is the price of water based on volume, such as Dollars per gallon, or Euros per liter (for example). The second variable is the expect time the water will be run, based on the flow rate of the water supply. The last component to this problem is the amount of time needed to irrigate each square feet or meter of the field. The greater the time watering can mean the greater cost for the utilities and so on.
What are the benefits for a Major League Baseball player?
Major league baseball players have a variety of benefits. I will just scratch the surface of a few. Players do make a lot of money. In their rookie year, they can make over 200,000 dollars at that age in their 20's. If you think about it that can be more than an orthopedic surgeon with many years of training and debt. Another is popularity in which it goes both ways. Some may not want to be seen in public. When others may think it is cool to see themselves on a video game cover or advertisement purposes. Lastly, they will be extremely physically fit. Over their body in a good shape way. Now, the risk on that page is them getting hurt or unallowed to do or eat certain foods. These are the benefits of an mlb ball player.
Who has worn number 5 for the New York Yankees?
The first baseball team to use numbers on uniforms was the 1916 Cleveland Indians when they wore small numbers on the sleeves of their uniforms, as a way of identifying the players. This practice was short lived.
in 1929 the New York Yankees decided to wear numbers to the backs of their jerseys. The numbers corresponded to each player's general position in the lineup.for example Babe Ruth wore No. 3, since he usually batted third, and Lou Gehrig wore No. 4 as he batted fourth.
Here is a list of Yankee players that wore uniform number 5. * Bob Meusel (1929) * Tony Lazzeri (1930-1931) * Frank Crosetti (1932-1934, part of 1935, 1936) * Nolen Richardson (part of 1935) * Joe DiMaggio (1937-1942, 1946-1951; retired 1952) * Nick Etten (1943-1945)

When will a MLB umpire call a delay of game?
The home team is in charge of determining whether the game starts on time due to rain. When the managers meet with the umpires at home plate before the game, the umpires are then in charge.
Below are snippets from MLB Rule 4.01:
"Unless the home club shall have given previous notice that the game has been postponed or will be delayed in starting, the umpire, or umpires, shall enter the playing field five minutes before the hour set for the game to begin and proceed directly to home base where they shall be met by the managers of the opposing teams."
"As soon as the home team's batting order is handed to the umpire-in-chief the umpires are in charge of the playing field and from that moment they shall have sole authority to determine when a game shall be called, suspended or resumed on account of weather or the condition of the playing field."
