Babe Ruth.

No, that is not possible. That thought comes from the fact that, in certain situations, a batter can strikeout but get on base if the catcher does not catch the ball on strike three and cannot get the ball to the first baseman before the batter reaches first base. This is called the 'Dropped Third Strike Rule' and there is a link to its description on this page. There have been many occasions, I don't know the exact number, where a pitcher has struckout four batters in an inning. This can only occur when the catcher does not catch strike three on a strikeout and the batter reaches first base safely.

It has been said that Babe Ruth's illness during spring training of 1925 was caused by binging on hot dogs and soda pop before a game. According to the related link, "Babe Ruth once ate 12 hot dogs & had 8 bottles of soda between games of a double header. He was reportedly rushed to the hospital after the game with a severe case of indigestion."

While we have no historical information on the volume of hot dogs Babe Ruth has consumed in his lifetime, we can compare it to some statistics provided by the National Sausage and Hot Dog Council.

The National Sausage and Hot Dog Council estimates Americans eat 7 billion hot dogs during peak season, from Memorial Day to Labor Day. That can be broken down to 818 hot dogs per second. Much of that consumption occurs at various sporting events. Major League Baseball's ballpark's will sell approximately 30 million hot dogs in a season. That is enough to round the bases 41,667 times. Also, interesting to note, an average hot dog vendor will sell approximately 150 hot dogs per game and 10,000 to 12,000 hot dogs per season.

While the council isn't able to give you an exact figure on how many hot dogs each person eats (everyone is different and has different tastes) they can estimate that if 20 billion hot dogs are consumed by Americans in one year, it can be broken down to about 70 hot dogs per person per year.

Babe Ruth died when he was 53 years old. If we multiply 53 by 70 it equals 3,710 hot dogs consumed over the course of his lifetime.

There are many different answers. The feet on a baseball field is important to measure the mile's the answer has alot of answers.

when your swinging a baseball bat you want to keep your back shoulder up slightly.Doing this will help produce your powerful swing. You want your feet shoulder width apart or a little more, whatevers comfortable for you.keeping the bat a couple inches above ur back shoulder is perfect, this way you will produce a proper swing.

Yes. Major League Baseball is the name of an organization and is therefore a proper noun. Iterations such as "major leagues" don't need to be capitalized, because they are not proper.

3,083 of Rose's record 4,256 career hits occurred as a Left-Handed batter. His career BA/OBP/SLG line as a Lefty is .307/.384/.419... He was less effective, but still good, as a Right-Handed hitter.

all of them do

Its when all the baseball players got down on the floor and break danced. AKA the cramp. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Seriously I want muh tuna roll. SPicy tuna!!!!! yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most novices and experts alike think the answer is no. Sliding into first base does not make you reach the base any faster. Doing this has to be one of the least intelligent moves in all of sports. For those who aren't aware, the rules of baseball require the runner to run from home to first and touch, but not remain on, first base. So the idea is to run as fast as you can for those 90 feet and not slow down until after your foot hits the base. Sliding is only required when you're trying to avoid a tag (at second, third or home) and when you need to remain touching the base. Sliding is not going to get you to first any faster despite what some say. As soon as you dive to start the slide you are actually already slowing down due to air resistance in addition to the fact that as soon as your body hits the ground your body is slowed down almost immediately. Its like throwing on the brakes. This is in comparison to continuing to run in which a runner will maintain their top speed all the way through the bag. Please people, this is really quite an easy thing to see if you just use your heads. Trust the science. It's never wrong.

There was recently a segment of show from Sports Science that discussed this and broke it down with scientific test and slow motion cameras. By diving into a base you initially get ahead of where you would be if running, however, the friction of sliding slows you down about 50% so in the last 6 feet before the bag you actually get to the base faster by running through the bag. I know there will be a lot of people argue this fact.. but science is science. Now if you time you dive perfectly to where you can touch 1st base at the peak of full extension in your dive without sliding on the ground, then yes, diving would be faster. But runners DO NOT "superman dive" into 1st base the slide head first.

The case for "maybe":

There are numerous flaws in the armchair science of people who argue that the answer is clearly "no." For example, air resistance is a negligible factor in the difference between sliding into first base vs. running through. A greater impact is the friction between the ground and the base runner. Assuming the diving player times his slide correctly and does not hit the ground before touching first base, diving actually leads to *less* overall friction than does running. Furthermore, people often forget that the lunge immediately prior to a dive can actually provide brief acceleration (punctuated, of course, by a quick stop upon hitting the ground!). Finally, people who argue that sliding into first base is slower than running through often argue that "if it was faster to dive, sprinters in track and field meets would dive across the finish line." This argument is actually quite ridiculous when you think about it. The injury that would be caused by diving on a running track could be devastating to a runner. Unless it was the last race of his/her life, it would be extremely unwise for a track runner to dive across the finish line. In contrast, the dirt surface on a baseball field and ballplayers' durable uniforms are designed to allow runners to slide into bases without injury. These critiques suggest that it is unclear whether sliding or diving into first base is faster or slower than running through it. Perhaps the best argument against having ballplayers slide into first base, then, is the increased likelihood of hand, finger, and shoulder injuries from impact with the base.

They are called Vendors or Barkers by some people.

As of the 2007 season, the minimum rookie pay is $1,100 a month.

If the batter was swinging it is a strike...if the batter was not swinging, then they are deemed to have been "hit by pitch" and are awarded first base.

Baseball socks are thicker and harder to run in. (keeps you hot)

Soccer socks makes you not hot.

It is hard to purchase something like a baseball glove online, you don't know how it feels.

I suggest you shop around at the local sporting goods stores and find the one you really like, it is appropriate for your position, age, and price range. Then go back and find the same glove online.

The main goal being getting a better price, just remember to add shipping onto whatever price there is, so a site with free shipping and a lower price would be the best.

Every glove manufacturer makes a wide range of glove options, I recommend not spending a bundle until you have advanced to a point where you intend to take your sport into the high school and collegiate level, or if you are in a traveling competitive league.

If you are going to drop 2-300 on a glove you should be done with most growth spurts and be prepared to keep it in good shape for several seasons, gloves need to be oiled, and restitched when needed, if you do this a really good glove will last you many years.

A baseball is measured by its weight, and circumference. The circumference of a baseball is the length around it. The size of a Rawlings Official Major League Baseball game ball cannot be less than five ounces nor more than 5 ¼ ounces; not less than nine nor more than 9 ¼ inches in circumference.

The New York Mets wear Dodger Blue and Giant Orange in honor of the two National League teams that's were in and left New York before they were formed in 1962

The Milwaukee Braves defeated the New York Yankees four games to three in the 1957 World Series. In the 1958 rematch, The Braves led the Yankees three games to one, but the New Yorkers rebounded to win the Series in seven.

Batter's interference is when the batter interferes with the catcher's ability to throw and catch a ball that is in play. An example of this is if the batter were to obstruct the catcher when a teammate is stealing a base, resulting in the catcher's inability to throw out the runner.

No. Roberto Clemente was born in Puerto Rico.

The most recent statistics discovered from 2008 show that 1,897 people in the US were murdered by stabbing, and 614 were bludgeoned to death. The stats do not differentiate between what blunt weapon was used and includes all form of weapons including bats, hammers, and other objects.
