How much are Major League Baseball baseball teams are worth?
The home team keeps all the proceeds from ticket and concession sales. This is why teams like the Marlins and Royals--very small market teams who don't draw many fans--don't have nearly the money that the Yankees and Mets have.
This doesn't get into revenue sharing, but much of the money split between teams for revenue sharing comes from television contracts, I believe.
It was originally founded in the United Kingdom in Essex in 1755, the game was brought to America by British Migrents after the war and also was taken back and gratefully received, then the leagues started forming in America. Also Japan took these skills home to hone aswell. I still don't know why the British don't recognise the sport as a pasttime :( Still hope this helped you :)

Who are the local television announcers for the Chicago Cubs?
Most people today would say Harry Carey, but before Harry there was Jack Brickhouse. Also, a legendary broadcaster whose signature call "Hey Hey" appears on the left field foul pole. The Cubs wore a patch with that phrase on it after he passed away in 1998. The same year Harry passed away. Some fans today might even say the Ron Santo is a legendary broadcaster for the Cubs. Granted his legacy is his play on the field and not in the booth, (although his call when Brant Brown dropped an easy fly ball in September 1998 is legendary) but he is definitely a Cubs legend like no other, except maybe Ernie Banks.

What side is the visitors side at a baseball stadium?
There is no designated area where the home fans sit. They sit on all sides of the baseball field. There are usually many, many more home fans than visitor fans at a baseball game. The visitor fans also may sit anywhere in the stadium.
Depending on your question, you could mean the team that you think is the worst, or you could be referring to being bad in a statistical way. By statistics, the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2010 had the worst record in the Major Leagues. The Baltimore Orioles had the worst record in the American League. In all of baseball history, you could mean in World Series wins or some other statistic, so the answer would be the Philadelphia Phillies in their 127 year history with 10,232 losses.

In baseball can you make an error on a foul ball?
Yes. A dropped foul ball can be considered an error if the official scorer deems that the player should have caught the ball. The batter will not reach base in this case. However, if the batter subsequently scores a run, the run will be unearned.
Notably, an error on a dropped foul ball would not disrupt a pitcher's attempt to record a perfect game.
How long did mike schmidt play baseball for?
No. Unless the runner scores, it is NOT a sacrafice fly. If a batter flies out while a runner is on either 1st or 2nd base, tags up and advances to the next base, it is simply ruled as a flyout with the runner advancing, and the "at bat" will still be charged to the batter. A sacrafice fly scores the runner after he tags up, the batter does not get charged with an "at bat", and he also gets credit for a run batted in (RBI).
I disagree. If a batter bunts and the runner advances, it is a sacrifice. So it would stand to reason that if you fly out, and the runner advances, then it would be as well.
To Above:
It's not a matter of disagreeing, it's a matter of MLB rules as designated by the rulebook. A sacrifice fly is not the same as a sacrifice bunt, a hit is only a sacrifice fly if the runner can tag and score. The reason being that a sacrifice fly is not scored as an official at-bat due to it's strategic value, thus it doesn't count against your batting average; since it's impossible to determine whether or not a batter is going long for strategy, or just swinging for the bleachers, you thus only get the sacrifice if the runner scores, all other fly-balls count against your average. A bunt is far more obvious in it's intent to move a runner, thus a bunt that moves a runner is a sacrifice.
