FYI - Stealing first (from second) is against the rules.  But that wasn't always the case.  I believe it was a game in the 30's where this rule came about.\n\nDetroit had runners on the corners and the double steal on.  The runner on first took off, but the catcher didn't make a throw and awarded second unchallenged.  Obviously the runner on third stayed put.  On the very next pitch the runner on second broke for FIRST BASE.  The catcher didn't know what to do, threw to second base, the second baseman tagged the bag, the runner on third ran home, the second baseman ran over to first and tagged the runner, and everyone scratched their heads to figure out what just happened.  \n\nUntil that moment there was no rule against going backward for no good reason.  As long as you don't cross paths with the runner behind you, it's not against the rules.  Also there is precendence for tagging one base and then running backward, like what you would do in the event of a fly ball caught on the fly after you already made it to the next base.  \n\nThe umpire on the spot made the ruling.  The runner on first was ruled out because he was tagged while standing on a base he wasn't allowed to occupy.  The runner on third was awarded home because no one tagged him.  The next day MLB rule book made a rule supporting the umpires actions.  After that day in the 30's it is against the rules to steal first base.  Any base, once tagged, cannot be returned to again if the runner has been awarded the next base in sequence.  \n\nThis covers fly balls since the runner is not awarded the next base until the ball hits the ground.\n\nSo going back from second wouldn't count anyway.

The manager for the USA, Buck Martinez felt he saw the runner from 3rd base leave for home plate before the fielder caught the ball. The 3rd base unpire ruled he left at the right moment, however, Martinez asked the Home Plate Umpire (who has the call to make in the first place) to get the other unps together and get the call right. The home plate ump ruled the runner left before the feilder caught the ball, therefore, reversing the call. Oh Yeah, the replays showed the call was right the first time. What can you say? The USA stole one.

Eddie Feighner...The King and His Court\nI saw that guy strike out people pitching from second base. He was unbelievable.

it depends on the discretion of the official scorer.  if the SS goes deep into the hole and tries a force at second and he is safe, the scorer can credit the batter with a hit if he feels the batter would have been safe anyway.  but say a guy grounds to third and the runner was stealing, the third baseman tries to get him at second anyway and he is safe, he would be creditd with a fielder`s choice.

Down to the third baseman.  Usually goes 3rd to short to 2nd and back to third.  Every once in a while some teams throw to 1st, but it's pretty rare.  Usually third.

It was Derek Jeter, who did it in the 2000 contest:\n\nhttp://www.baseball-almanac.com/awards/aw_mvpa.shtml

The pitchers name is Tracy Stallard and he was pitching for the Red Sox.  It was actually the only run Stallard gave up that game.\n\nMatt

The runner is out, with the putout going to the closest fielder, the batter is safe at first on a fielders choice.

Apparently Johnny Grabowski was the first player to wear that number for the Yankees.  The number is retired for Bill Dickey and Yogi Berra, and has been since '72.

The batter is credited with a single, and the outfielder is credited with an assist for the throw, and the infielder--in most cases the second baseman--is given the putout.

Pollock ...just guessing. I think he took 4 wickets in 4 consecutive balls in his first county match.

Pitcher\nThese are in order as you would score a game, so pitcher would be #1, and so on down the line.  If there is a ground ball to the 3rd baseman who throws the runner out at first, it would be scored as 6-3.\n\nPitcher\nCatcher\n1st baseman\n2nd baseman\n3rd baseman\nShortstop\nLeft field\nCenter Field\nRight Field

Pretty much it is when the catcher drops the third strike, but since he did not catch it cleanly, the batter is not technically out until someone on the field puts him out.  The play usually goes catcher to first (2-3).  The pitcher also records the strike out.  If the batter swung at it and missed and the catcher let's it get away from him the batter can get to first and be safe, and the out will not count.

the runner on third can tag up if the ball is caught, but if the fielder is in foul territory and he drops the ball in foul territory, then its a foul ball, but even if the fielders toe is in fair territory when he drops the ball, then its a fair ball.
