One out runners on 1st and 3rd fly ball hit to right field Ball is caught thrown to 1st base to double off the runner Runner on third scores Does the run count and how do you appeal the runner left e?

Answer to first part: Run does not count.

Explanation: For the runner on third coming home, the run does not count. No run counts on a play where the third out is a force out. There was one out when the play began; batter hits fly ball which is caught for the second out; ball is thrown to first base and the runner there is called out for the third out; this is considered a force out, therefore, the run does not count.

Answer to second part: Runner on first is called out.

Explanation: Only the defense can appeal that the runner left early. The offense (team at bat) cannot appeal that the runner did NOT leave early.

Note: The act of the right fielder throwing to first base is considered the appeal. If the runner is called out, there is no further action possible or necessary. If the runner is called safe, the defense (team in the field) can appeal by the usual process (where the pitcher with the ball addresses the rubber, then steps off the rubber and throws to first), but the same call will be made; why would the umpire change his mind?

Should women wear a jock strap playing softball?

There is a version for women, and for protection, they should wear one.

Answer: There is no such thing as a jockstrap for women, but there are women's groin guards. Jockstraps are made to support men's testicles because they hang loosely between their legs and it is painful if they get bounced around by running (balls are the most sensitive part on the body). Women do not need this support, and do not need jockstraps, because their genitals are almost totally internal and protected by their bodies. It is mandatory in baseball for men to add a cup to their jockstraps to cover their sexual organs and protect them from impacts which are extremely painful and can cause infertility. In softball, women have the option to wear "groin guards" which are made to protect the vulva and pelvic bone but are more like a padded strip that is shaped to fit between her legs.

What is the difference between maximum depth of field and shallow depth of field on a camera?

Depth of field in photography is 3-dimensional and is measured from the foreground moving along a horizontal plane towards the background. Maximum depth-of-field means most of the scene is in focus and shallow depth-of-field means the minimum is in focus. Shallow depth-of-field lets you lose the background into a nice blur leaving the foreground in focus - good for portrait photography. In landscape photography you would normally choose the maximum depth-of-field so that distant hills were in focus as well as the middle ground and the foreground - in other words, everything in the field of your vision would be sharply focussed.
