I’ve notices this while watching baseball games on television. When the batter gets a hit and goes to first base, before the pitcher faces the next batter the baserunner and first baseman will talk to each other. What do they say?
They often talk about how they got on base. They’ll say "nice hit" or "good eye man" stuff like that, because they’re all baseball players and they can relate. Some know eachother and will ask about how their family is doing and stuff like that. Some guys talk trash playfully, some guys just talk about random stuff trying to get into your head (Kevin Millar). The more they talk to the runners, the less focused they are on the actual game, so they can be picked off or make a stupid decision.

Can somebody link me to a site, or possibly suggest a book that explains how hot dogs coincide with baseball?
Around the turn of the century (1900-1910) the hot dog came on the scene in the USA. They were reportedly sold at the 1904 Worlds Fair in St. Louis, MO. Once they figured out that these little sausages could be placed in a bun the hotdog became portable. It also helped that the hotdogs could be cooked easily (steamed, grilled, boiled, etc.). I am not certain which Ballpark first started selling hotdogs to stand, but I am guessing it was on the East Coast, maybe New York. They were a big hit! Easy, portable, inexpensive to produce. What a deal.

How do baseball stadiums such as US cellure field or Wrigley Field know when sever weather is approaching and what would they do if a Tornado Warning is issued? Please let me know thank you.
Is a tornado warning was issued during a game in progress?
Such as the one that happened during a Cubs Game At Wrigley Field last August?
They listen to the National Weather Service casts, and there’s this amazing invention that lets you look through walls — it’s called a "window" — which sometimes they stick their head out of, and take a look around.

My son will turn 3 at the end of May. I’d like to buy him his first leather baseball glove but am not sure what size I should buy. Any advice?
Just look in the teeball section and see which one fits him the best.

What will the baseball section do when the season ends? I know I will switch to football and focus on school. What about the rest of the trolls?
Since I’m Canadian I’ll be over in the Hockey section and I usually check out the Fantasy Sports section as well. I will also visit the baseball section on a frequent basis to answer questions and ask funny polls.
The baseball trolls will migrate to other Sports sections. Does anyone know when "Troll Season" officially start? I got a new Easton bat that needs to be broken in.

Okay, so I like this guy and he likes me. I am going too ask him to Tolo using a baseball because that’s his favorite sport. I wrote tolo on a baseball but how am I supposed to give it to him or ask him?
Or any other ideas using a baseball?
i think that is so cute and i think that u should go to his house and first talk to his parents and have them put it in his room.

I was watching a baseball game on television. (I won’t say what team) And, the manager came out of the dugout to talk to one of the umpires about a call that he didn’t agree with and the umpire threw him out of the game. What happens when he is thrown out of the game? Where does he go and does he get to come back later in the game?
He ought to be suspended for a game ot three, but "This Bud’s for You" does have the cajonnes to do that.
What part of sportmanship is it that the managers dont understand. Dont they know that kids are watching ? I have seen eight year olds do what they see Joe Girardi and Lou Piniella do. I sure hope they are proud of themselves.
or why dont the teams suspend them ? I guess the youth is not important to them. I just hope THEIR kids turn out like that

My mom has a baseball signed by all the actors in the movie Major League made in the late 1980’s. With some actors such as Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Dennis Haysbert, and Steve Yeager.
hard to estimate
the autographed posters sell for $60 to $100
none of stars autographs are rare or hard to find
so it would depend on how many other balls they have out their that are similar and how many of the cast members signed it.
the provenance is also important, like where did she get it? was it gift or did she win a contest etc..

Football season is almost over and boring baseball is right around the corner. What are some ways they can make baseball more exciting? Trapped doors on the bases? Electrically charged baseball bats? Fill the bullpen with Komodo Dragons?
They should make the pitchers angrier so more hit batters and more brawls. They should allow catchers to interfere with batters.
