Zim calculated how many balls would be used in 162 games. But there are more than 162 total games played in a major league season. \n\nThere are 2430 games played in one major league season. Using Zim's other calculation, 45 balls used on average per game would amount to 109,350 total balls used in one season by the MLB. \n\nTo add some extra fun, if you take the cost of an official major league baseball, which is around $9, and multiply it by 109,350 baseballs, you get $984,150 spent by the MLB each season on baseballs alone. However, it's almost certain that the MLB receives a significant discount on each ball. I would guess they pay around $3-5 per baseball. But even if they pay the full $9 per ball, $984,150 is pocket change for the MLB. The average major league player makes more than twice that amount.

All modern golf balls have their own proprietary dimple designs. So there is no definitive answer to that question. Although obviously there is a limit to the number of dimples you can fit on a golf ball. I think Wilson used to make a ball they marketed as having the most dimples on any ball....I think it was 492.

The golf ball has between on average 380 and 430 dimples.  The best selling balls are in that range

It has been said that there are 18 holes because in the early days of golf the gents would take a shot of wiskey or scotch at each hole and there are 18 shots in a bottle.\n\nThis of course isnt true but sounds good.\n\nIn reality the first golf courses had less then 18 holes , then St Andrews in Scotland was laid out on a parcel of land near a beach and had 11 holes, they would play the 11 holes out and then turn back and play them again right back to the clubhouse thus playing a total of 22 holes as a round.\nAt some point later it was determined that several holes were simply to short so 2 holes were eliminated leaving 9 holes out and the same 9 back in thus comprising of an 18 hole round which then became standard.\n\nGood question\n\nLeon

First of all are these actual autographs or printed autographs?  If they are printed their value is of course a lot less.   Autographs in general of someone as important to the game of golf as Jack Nicklaus go for anywhere from 9.99 up into the thousands of dollars depending on what the item is.   One of a kind items being worth more.  With all 4 signatures on an item such as this (43 of 100)  could possibly fetch at least 40 dollars and possibly into the hundreds depending on condition and method of selling.  If you are interested in selling this item to the highest bidder on eBay and would like some help listing it, I would be happy to help you accomplish it for a nominal %.   Email me.

From an article in the Christian Science Monitor:\n\nThe first baseball team, the Knickerbockers, wore straw hats! From the 1840s to the 1870s, players wore all sorts of hats - boating caps, jockey caps, even bicycling hats.\n\nIn the 1870s, a pillbox-style hat with a flat top and a short visor became popular. This was the "Chicago style" cap. It often had horizontal stripes around it that made it look a little like a layer cake.\n\nIn 1860, the Brooklyn Excelsiors wore a cap that's a forerunner of today's rounded-crown, large-visor caps. This "Brooklyn style" had evolved from a "Boston style," and it caught on about 1900. It had a tight crown and a button on top, placed toward the front.\n\nThe modern cap arrived in the 1940s, when latex rubber replaced buckram (coarse cotton) as the stiffening material inside the visor. Now the visors could be longer.

I don't think 46 is a realistic number. And number of 300 games in 2005 is a pretty vague question. Do you want to know how many 300's were thrown in the Pro Tour? How many were league sanctioned? Just in the US? In the world? etc. \n\nAnd no one knows how many 300's were thrown unsanctioned.

8,369,863 I took the number of golf courses, rounds played per day, and I did some averaging on how many would lose a ball.\n\nThe average golfer score is over 106 and they lose over 4 golf balls, but they also find two or three during the round.  My number is the gross.

Japanese golfers tend to care about their scores very much. They are looking for products and services which help to improve their scores. According to the Japan Golf Goods Association, there were over 100 million people who played at golf courses in1997 in Japan. Since that number includes people who played more than once, the Japan Leisure Development Center estimates that there were 13 million\n\npeople who played at golf courses and 14 million people who went to driving ranges in 1997.  Because of financial crisis in 1997, the number of players at golf courses has decreased in 1998.\n\n\nGreat info here:
