The New York Yankees celebrated "Lou Gehrigs Day" on July 4, 1939\n\nFans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got. Yet today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. I have been to ballparks for seventeen years and I have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn’t consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day? Sure I’m lucky. Who wouldn’t have considered it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball’s greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy? Sure, I'm lucky. When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat and vice versa, sends you a gift, that’s something. When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in the white coats remember you with trophies, that’s something. When you have a father and mother who work all their lives so that you can have an education and build your body, it's a blessing. When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed, that's the finest I know. So I close by saying that I might have had a bad break, but I have an awful lot to live for. Thank you."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Gehrig

You're wrong... up untill about 1998 or so the balls had their respective league president's signature. For example, If there was a game being played at fenway, all the balls would have the signature of the AL president.

Q: What was the longest game ever?\n-- MaceMan26\nA: On May 8, 1984, at 7:30pm, the longest game in major-league history began. Over the course of two days and 25 grueling innings, the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago White Sox duked it out for a record eight hours and six minutes. Both teams came within inches of victory on a few occasions, but their opponent always matched them blow-by-blow. Going into the eighth tied 1-1, Robin Yount and Ted Simmons scored for the Brew Crew. An aging Rollie Fingers could not hold the lead though, as rightfielder Charlie Moore's error opened the door for the Sox to tie it. Chicago then loaded the bases with one out in the 13th, but Marc Hill struck out and Dave Stegman fouled out to end the threat.\n\nBecause MLB rules prohibit an inning from starting after 12:59am, the game was called after the 17th and resumed the next day. Most returning fans thought the game would end quickly that next day, but instead it dragged on for another eight innings. Carlton Fisk ended an early ChiSox rally when he struck out with the bases juiced in the 18th. His failure in the clutch looked to be a crucial play, as Milwaukee tallied three runs in the 21st on Ben Oglivie's upper-deck home run. However, the resilient Sox refused to lose. Rudy Law reached on an error, Fisk redeemed himself by singling Law home, Marc Hill singled, Harold Baines walked, and Tom Paciorek singled home the tying runs. And so, the marathon continued.\n\nIn the 23rd, it was Milwaukee's turn to avoid a bullet. Chicago's Dave Stegman, who had been on first, stumbled as he tried to hold up at third after Paciorek's single was bobbled, then quickly recovered, by outfielder Rick Manning. As he lost his balance, Stegman brushed up against third base coach Jim Leyland. Since contact between coach and runner is prohibited, Stegman was called out. The next batter singled, but was later stranded. The Beer Men weren't so lucky two frames later when Baines mercifully ended the affair by jacking one over the center-field fence for a 7-6 win.\n\nTom Seaver, making his first relief appearance in eight years, got the win. He then pitched 8.1 innings in Chicago's regularly scheduled game that night, earning his second win of the day. Chuck Porter took the loss. Though it will still go down in the annals, it turned out that this game meant absolutely nothing to either team. Milwaukee and Chicago combined to finish 59 ½ games out of first place.

Well that is a pretty general question...I have played for like 11 years and so I know a lot about the rules and procedures and such...as far as history, I don't have a clue...Anything more specific that you need?

How many spitballs did Walter Johnson throw? How about calling that a performance enhanced baseball? \n\nHow many corked bats did Ty Cobb have? \nHow many baseballs did Whitey Ford scuff? \nHow much did Babe Ruth's bat weigh? \nWell what about Josh Gibson not receiving credit for any of his home runs? \nHow about Pete Rose not being in "THE HALL" for his hits record and may not have even gambled during his playing days? \n\nAll I can say is that LIFE iS NOT FAIR. Baseball has always had cheaters in one respect or another and a record is a record.

It might be kind of interesting if you kept track of HRs and Ks for both pitchers and hitters. As it is, it doesn't sound like much I would be interested in.

That's the kind of information that MLB keeps confidential. Anyone who has that information will not reveal it here where it can be seen by thousands of people.

Yes, I am sure you are trying to find that out, but in order to get an answer on Yahoo Answers, you have to ask a question. Plus, I am pretty sure that if your team is registered with the MABL then you would know where you were registered.

Several years ago,I started using the name "Monarchs",as a way of paying homage to the Kansa City Monarchs of the old negro leagues.They are a part of baseball history that should not be forgotten.There are many of the old negro league teams with names you could use.

This was back in the 1980's at a new golf course called Riverside CC in Arlington Texas.  The golf course is very close to the baseball park so a lot of the MLB players played it.  We had a group of 4 Texas Rangers starters behind us.  I was struggling with the shanks I hit my drive to the right and it landed in the fairway of the previous hole.  I wanted to hit it before the group of baseball players finished teeing off that hole.  We had a group in front of us so no luck.  I had a 4 iron shot with about a 50% chance of getting over the trees.  The baseball players stopped to my right side, I told them to go ahead and they said they could wait.  My only thought was seeing myself on the news from hitting one of them in the head.  I hit the shot never saw the ball and didn’t hear it hit any trees.  So my training kicked in and I acted like it did what it was supposed to do.  I found the ball 3 feet from the hole.  I was shaking so bad a think I missed the putt.  I was only 17 or 18 at the time.
