Why is the world series 7 game series?

To shorten a fairly long and not super interesting story: it was arbitrarily chosen by a powerful team owner back around 1905 when he came up with rules for the series. He was considering five, but decided seven would be better for pitchers (since one bad game would not be as devastating). He also thought seven was a lucky number.

The league experimented with playing some nine game series in 1919-1921, but felt nine was too long, too expensive, and increased the risk of the last games being interrupted by poor late-autumn weather.

What is the value of a 1929 worlds champ game at Shibe park game 5 detached coupon from rain check worth?

1929 Philadelphia Athletics World Series ticket Stub CouponA 1929 Philadelphia Athletics World Series Full ticket played at Shibe Park is worth about $600. - $650. and a ticket stub about $275. - $325.

Condition is important. The slightest flaws could bring the price down significantly. Common flaws include; rips, creases, stains, and fading. Ticket stubs that are not ripped cleanly will also sell for less.

Do not detach this coupon from the Rain Check as it would read on the coupon. You would not be able to enter the game without it and you would not get the full collectible value of the rain check (stub) 80+ years later. I cannot give you a value for the coupon as I have never seen one for sale but it would be less than the rain check without the coupon. The Rain Check without the coupon might sell at about half the value of the full stub so I would estimate half that or less for the coupon, about $40.00 - $50.00 in excellent - Near Mint condition.

How many kinds of baseballs have been used in the history of baseball?

BaseballsThere have been many changes in the type of baseball used in the history of the game. Most during the early years of the game. The "Lemon Peal" style Baseball (1850 -1860) was one of the first style baseball used. Dark leather was used for the cover because it was readily available and easier for the players to see when the ball was hit in the air on a clear day. White baseballs were later introduced (1861) because most ball fields at the time had heavily wooded area back drops, and it was easier to see the white ball.

The "Figure 8" stitched baseballs were then used becoming more popular during the 1870's and were similar to the baseball used today with size and weight being the major difference. In 1859 the rules stated that a ball must weigh 5.75 to 6 ounces and measure 9.75 to 10 inches in circumference. Two years later, the ball specifications were changed to 9.5 to 9.75 inches in circumference and 5.5 to 5.75 ounces and . Today the official size of a Major League baseball is 9 to 9 1/4 inches in circumference and 5 to 5 1/4 ounces in weight.
