I am wondering if there any age restrictions relating to minor league baseball? In addition, I notice that they have various posted somewhere on the internet regarding tryouts. For this reason, I know someone who is trying his dream of playing professional baseball, but it is quite unclear to him whether he has the ability or not to play competitively; however, if he does have that potential then he is constantly wondering if they would sign depending what club would take him. Lastly, it is ever too late to peruse your dreams, if not then what can he do to achieve them. In addition, forgot mention that he is a pitcher.

No. There are no age restrictions, however, I’m assuming your talking about an "independent league" team, and not a minor league team affiliated with a major league club. An independent team will take anybody, you can be a 50 year old pitcher, and if you can throw 90mph, and you want to live your life on the measly wages and spend 32 hours at a time on a bus for road games, sure, they’ll take you. Live your dream. A real minor league club, that is an affiliate of a major league club, don’t have open tryouts. They are paid players of the minor league lever.

I am wanting to start a collection of baseball autographs on a wooden bat. What kind should I buy and where can I purchase? Thanks.

Definitely a Louisville slugger.

Make sure the wood is finished but not glossed. The autographs look better on a non glossy surface.

How can I clean bloodstains from a baseball bat? It is embedded within the grain, to a moderate depth in the wood. Should I use some sort of bleach or alcohol? Which kind?

Bloodstains? I know just the thing. What you want is household ammonia, this stuff fricken rocks for removing blood. Now, how do you go about obtaining some ammonia? Look for heavy-duty bathroom or kitchen cleaners, they’ll have what you want.

When applying the solution, let it soak into the wood before scrubbing it off. Give it a few hours and then get down and then scrub that bat down like hell. Because even though you can’t see anymore blood with your eyes, that doesn’t mean there’s no more blood traces left on the bat. When you’re done I suggest a fresh coat of varnish and the you’re good as new. Now no one will ever know how you smashed that kid’s face in.

Why do they wear a glove on their hand that has the baseball glove? What type of advantages does it provide?

because they have weak and delicate hands.

I would like to know what is required to become a professional baseball player. In addition, is it or is it not necessary to have prior experience.
What age is reasonable to try out for a professional team, if possible?

it is combination of 2 things pure athleticism, and trained skill, how good of "natural" ball player you are is something you can not help but trained skill you can learn. you must devote your life to baseball. throw a tennisball against a brick wall 1000 times a day from normal throwing distance and field the bouncing tennis ball as it comes back to you, take a punching bag, hang it up and take swings at it but when u hit the bag don’t pull bat back continue pushing bat through your swing, this will halp your swing strength. and of course run, do push ups, pull ups and sit ups, push yourself farthere than when u would normally give up, pay attention during game know how many outs there are where to go with ball. watch the ball the whole time when fielding, catching the ball or batting. one key with that is pick up the spin of rotation, you should be able to go back to the dugout and know how that ball spun

I have a stack of baseball cards, the oldest ones are in 1987. I’ve been looking on google to find a site to see how much they are worth but its not really giving me what Im looking for!

Beckett’s and Tuffstuff put out price guides and have sites that you can subscribe to.

I was watching some highlights on ESPN the other day about bizarre sporting event plays.I caught only a second of a play where a baseball player kicked a baseball to someone else.It looked to be a Cincinnati Reds player.

I didnt get to see all of it.Is their a short video somewhere of this happening?I want to know what happend.Is it on Youtube somewhere?

The player in question is Paul O’Neill, and it was a game in 1989 between the Reds and Phillies in which he kicked the baseball after fumbling it. The kick actually prevented a run from scoring.

Throughout history, sports celebs have been paid fees to appear on cards – candy, tobacco, bubble gum. In the early 1900′s it was tobacco and cigarettes (called Tobacco Cards). I am trying to find out how much baseball players were paid, and if they were paid PER CARD or one SET FEE for use of their image and baseball history on the cards.

If it was anything like National Hockey League, according to Maurice "the rocket" Richard not much….. he said that the players now get paid in a day what he would make in an entire year, that was in the 60′s or so……

I am 15 and have the weakest arm on my baseball team and i need 2 build it up. Is there any effect way to get my velocity up when I throw the baseball.

Baseball is extremely popular in South America,Mexico,and Central America!In Japan,baseball made it as top 3 most popular sports!In Panama and Cuba,baseball is the most popular sport!What is up with this?

To be fair, we don’t hear very much about it coming from those other areas you mention, and we hear an awful lot about it coming from America. I knew it was big in Japan though, for what it’s worth. Plus the British are probably not alone in the world as not being that interested in baseball. If we were more interested in it, we’d be more likely to know these things, eh, old bean?
