There are some people whose names ring true and loudly long after they have died. One such person is that of Mickey Mantle. This legendary baseball player is still the most favorite baseball card to collect. The various Mickey Mantle baseball cards that you can find will help to bring immense satisfaction to you and any other lover of baseball cards. The popularity of these cards will mean that you may have to pay a lot of the actual cards but they are still worth the price.
As with so many of the great baseball players the Mickey Mantle baseball cards will capture the interest of collectors because you will be able to find reprints and actual cards that show off various years and positions that were played by Mantle during his long and illustrious career.
There are many interesting reasons why these baseball cards are so popular with a vast number of baseball card collectors. One of the most important is the rarity of being able to find a good condition card. The many Mickey Mantle baseball cards that were printed during the 1950s and 1960s were displayed on perishable cardboard. As a result a good many of these cards have disappeared, been damaged or even worn out with almost constant handling.
There is one very interesting item that you will note if you manage to look at one of the Mickey Mantle baseball cards. While many other baseball players have played in at least several different teams throughout their career of baseball, Mickey Mantle was known to have played in one team only. His playing skills while he was a team player are well known.
It is these legendary skills that have made Mickey Mantle baseball cards even popular during his days of glory. Mickey Mantle had some great clutch performances in several different World Series and other baseball games. He also had a huge amount of home runs tallied onto his play performance. These statistics alone pave the way for Mickey Mantle baseball cards being prized by collectors and fans alike.
During the days when Mickey mantle was playing baseball every kid who collected these cards would ask their friends if they owned a Mickey Mantle baseball card. Today these cards are even more valuable than ever before. So if you do manage to find an original pre- 1968 baseball card with Mickey Mantle on it, keep this card safe.

Well, these days with all of exercise and weight training they do, many baseball players are strong and big ( taking away the notion that most baseball players aren't athletes ) since most baseball players are athletes anyway. They actually cut their hair to military style because having a full head of hair slows down a player some what. For a "cop attitude" baseball players are the only pro athletes who are allowed to police themselves whenever a fight happens and leave the dugout.
Yes. There have been a few "switch pitchers"
Greg Harris did Sept 28, 1995. He was the last guy to do this in the MLB.
I also remember hearing a story of a minor league pitcher who did this in a game.. against a switch hitter, and the two switched back and forth many times until the umpire had to intervene.
read the bottom of this page for a brief mention of the story:

I would say that 60 is a reasonable guess, but it might be a little lower than that. I used to play as a kid but i don't play much anymore and I was clocked in the low 60's last summer at a fan day thing. Of the 4 people I knew that were clocked i think the highest ws 67 with average being a little under 60.
amazing! Willy teach me how to paint like you!
It says that we (yes I am Black) did what we did what had always when done when Whites would not allow us to do something. We started our own version which was just as good (and in many cases better as N-e-g-r-o League All Star teams routinely beat MLB All Star teams in exhibitions) as what they had. Most people don't know this but the East-West Colored All Star Game played at the original Comiskey Park in 1933 actually outdrew the first ever MLB All Star Game which was played in the same stadium one week earlier. This shows that White America was beginning to realize the quality of baseball that was played in the N-e-g-r-o Leagues was just as high as (and arguably higher than) that played in MLB. This also made racist owners try even harder to keep us out of MLB.
Often, N-e-g-r-o League teams would get their names by placing the word "Black" in front of the name of the local MLB or MiLB team, i.e. New York Black Yankees, Chattanooga Black Lookouts, Atlanta Black Crackers ("Crackers" was the name of the first professional team in Atlanta, a reference to cracking home runs), Birmingham Black Barons (who at one time counted Satchel Paige and Willie Mays among their players and were owned by Abe Saperstein, the same man who founded and owned the Harlem Globetrotters), Washington Black Senators, Jacksonville Black Caps (Jacksonville's MiBL team was the Red Caps) Shreveport Black Captains, New Orleans Black Pelicans, Little Rock Black Travelers,etc. The Kansas City Royals name is a tribute to the most famous N-e-g-r-o League team of them all, the Kansas City Monarchs.
When the MLB and MiLB teams were on road trips, the N-e-g-r-o League teams would often play in their stadiums and give the MLB team owner a portion of the receipts. This was also true for some MiLB teams. For example, when the Birmingham Barons were on a road trip, the Birmingham Black Barons would play at Rickwood Field. The N-e-g-r-o League teams were, however, required to use the MLB or MiLB teams announcers who were often just as racist as the owners. When the Barons played at Rickwood Field there was one section of the right field bleachers that was designated as "The Colored Section" and whenever a player be it a member of the Barons or the opposing team would hit a home run into that section the announcer would say the player hit it into "The Coal Bin." The bleacher designations were the exact reverse for the Black Barons' games, with one difference: the one section of the bleachers had no denigrating designation.
In short, the N-e-g-r-o Leagues showed that we could do anything that Whites could do and could do it just as well, if not better in some cases. The N-e-g-r-o Leagues endured until 1962 when they finally closed down shop for good because they had served their purpose, which was to give us a place to play professional baseball. When Pumpsie Green debuted with the Red Sox in 1959, it meant that every team in MLB had integrated.
Before anyone says anything about the date in the question it is correct. Jackie Robinson signed to play with the Brooklyn Dodgers' minor league team, the Montreal Royals in early 1946. He played one year for them before being called up to the Dodgers with whom he debuted on April 15, 1947.
the same as we do
All broadcasters have endless information in front of them and constantly given to them during the game. So they know what pitches a pitcher throws, as well their tendencies they have to throw certain pitches in certain situations. They know between what speeds their fastball is thrown as well as the rest of a pitcher's pitches. So then by looking at the speed of the pitch, and its movement, they can deduce what pitch was just thrown. Its not quite as easy as looking at what sign the catcher is putting down, since that camera angle isn't usually the one being shown when the signs are flashed.
don't let the easy one get away……. Barry Bonds
Brilliant Willy, Just Brilliant =D
Perfect.
First find how long the ball is in the air. Velocity X Distance (converted units of course)
Then multiply by the revolutions per minute and you will get revolutions.
Mainly just a unit conversion problem
:O

how is this not a real photo?
hm i couldn’t tell the difference between photograph and painting comparing the final resault.
This is sick
Very nice!!
I want to add to Kyle's response. The answer is B. If uniforms are sold to fans, then they are final goods and will be included in GDP. However, since professional baseball players use uniforms as an input in supplying a match to spectators, then the cost of these uniforms is already included in ticket prices and will not be included in GDP.
