What is a loose ball in basketball play?
A loose ball foul in the NBA (European rules may differ) is committed when NO player from either team has possession of the ball. It is NOT a foul committed on a player who does not have possession of the ball so long as some other player has possession. A loose ball foul is committed ONLY when NO player from either team has possession, which is evident from the name, "Loose ball." The concept is important because an offensive foul has different repercussions than a defensive foul, but a "loose ball foul" is neither a defensive or an offensive foul. If any other player other than the one fouled has the ball then the foul is either defensive or offensive.

Is a batter out if the ball is lost in the first baseman uniform when the defensive player touches the bag without holding the ball?
If the ball is lost inside a player's uniform, it probably does not count as controlled possession of the ball, and the batter-runner would be safe. One could argue that if the player has the ball in his hand while it is inside his uniform, he is maintaining controlled possession, and the batter would be out. There would presumably be no difference between having the ball in your hand inside your shirt, and having the ball in your hand inside your glove.
If a player slides into a base and gets blocked by the defensive players foot is he safe?
If the defensive player has the ball in his possession he may block the base. The runner would be called out in that situation.clarification:The defensive player does not have to have the ball in his possession to block a base. He just has to be making a play on the ball -- this could be anything from a catcher standing at home waiting on a ball being thrown from right field to a 2nd basemen waiting on a ball from the catcher on a steal attempt. As long as the player is making a play on the ball then he may "block" a base --- keep in mind though the runner has a right to get to the base through the base path which means "running over" the player no-matter which bag it takes place at -- most people believe you can only "run over" the catcher -- this is incorrect, you can "steam roll" a 3rd basemen if he is your path to the bag --- which is generally why they will stand straddling the base and not directly in front of it
If a throw in goes straight out of play without touching another player what happens?

Is there a rule in the Major League Baseball rule book that allows a catcher to block home plate?
Yes. In Rule 7.06 of the MLB Rulebook it states: " The catcher, without the ball in his possession, has no right to block the pathway of the runner attempting to score. The base line belongs to the runner and the catcher should be there only when he is fielding a ball or when he already has the ball in his hand."
