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

the home team supplies 12 dozen per game, now all 144 may not be used, but that's what is ready to be used at any given time. the guy that said 20 is obviously a moron, 20 balls could easily be used on 1 or 2 batters. think....homers, foul balls, scuffed or damaged balls, not to mention the simple fact that a pitcher can request a new ball at ANY TIME, regardless of the fact that the one he's holding may be brand new itself.

one ball on the pitch, but you might have 4 extras on the side lines for throwings and if the ball gets flat.\nt

Three play in the field at any time.  Most teams carry 2 or 3 additional players capable of playing the outfield.  With 30 teams, there are probably 150+ outfielders in the major leagues.

seven\nyou can get a hit...you can get hit...you can get walked...you can get walked on purpose...you can get struck out but if the ball gets away from the catcher and you beat his throw to first...you can reach on a fielders choice

162 per team in Major League Baseball\n\nThere are currently 30 teams in the MLB.  Since each game is played by exactly 2 teams assuming there are no rainouts that are not made up or forfeited games you would multiply 162 games per team by 30 teams and divide that product by 2 teams per game and even though the unit comes out to teams it is really games.\n\nThere are a total of 2430 games played in a regular season of the MLB.\n\nAny regular season ties that require a playoff will have that playoff game count as a regular season game.  So once in a while there are 2431 or 2432 games.\n\nIn 2005 there were 2430 regular season games played.\n\nIn 1995 the teams played a 144 game schedule due to a late spring training that was a result of the previous year's strike\n\nThe last year of 154 games per team was 1960.  That year there were 16 teams in MLB so that year there would have been a potential for 1232 games.  I manually counted them for you and came up with: 1232, they played all the regular season games that year.

The numbers refer to the players involved in the play.\n(e.g. 6-4-3 double play, would be a ball hit to the shortstop (6), thrown to the second baseman (4) for the first out, and then to the first baseman (3) for the second out.)\n\nThe complete list:\n1 - pitcher\n2 - catcher\n3 - 1st base\n4 - 2nd base\n5 - 3rd base\n6 - shortstop\n7 - left field\n8 - center field\n9 - right field

Depends on what you mean by minors.  If you include low a ball and rookie ball, etc, then below 10% for sure.\n\nLook at it this way, teams generally have 6 minor league teams affiliated to one major league club (AAA, AA, high A, 2 lower A teams and a Rookie ball team).  So at any given point, there is about 25 major leagers and 150 minor leaguers.  \n\nHowever, realize that there is a lot more movement in the lower minors (people quitting, etc.).  I would be shocked if it was more than 8%.

The answer is six.\n\nOf the first five players to get a hit, two are thrown out on the bases and three are standing on the bases. The next batter hits the ball, but it touches one of the runners. The batter is credited with a hit (#6), but the runner is out, making three outs in the inning before a run scores.

Does the man on third get a base or do you have to be forced to move to get to on that type of play?\n\nhmmm...that's all I can think of right now.

Most teams will have 11 or 12 pitchers:   5 will be starting pitchers, the rest in the bullpen.  Of the bullpen guys, you'll have 1 closer, 2 setup men (i.e., 8th inning), and the last 3-4 are situational or long relievers.
