Why do baseball players turn left on the basepath?
Because that's where the next base is located.
Is there a interference call if a team mate is touched before reaching home plate for softball?
yes. No one including the basepath coaches are allowed to touch a base runner prior to touching home plate
Runner runs into fielder in basepath catching thrown ball?
This is nothing, just part of the game. Play continues. Of course, it shouldn't happen, and the umpire can expect an earful from the offensive team's manager.
Does the fielder or runner have the right of way?
on a batted ball the fielder has the right of way if the fielder is in the basepath and the ball isn't near him the runner has the right of way
If a infielder boots the ball from out of the base path into the base path and the runner runs in to him while he is trying to field the ball is the runner out?
No, once the fielder comes in contact with the batted ball a runner cannot be called for runner interference unless he intentionally goes out of his way (basepath) to make contact with the fielder
Is the runner required to get out of the basepath during a double play attempt after being forced out at the base they are trying to get too?
No. MLB Rule 7.09(d) states "Any batter or runner who has just been put out hinders or impedes any following play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate; Rule 7.09(d) Comment: If the batter or a runner continues to advance after he has been put out, he shall not by that act alone be considered as confusing, hindering or impeding the fielders.". The play happens so fast that it would be next to impossible for the runner to get out of the way, especially if he is sliding. As long as the runner that was forced doesn't do anything out of the ordinary (wave arms, jump up in the air) it is not necessary to leave the basepath.
If a fielder is in the basepath and the runner either runs into the fielder or is forced around the fielder is it interference on the fielder?
If a baserunner runs into a fielder who is in the base line, and who is not in the act of fielding a ball, the call would be OBSTRUCTION on the fielder. The baserunner would be awarded the base he was running to. The runner that has been obstructed will be awarded at least one base or as many bases that the umpire deems necessary to offset the obstruction. This is a judgment call for the umpire and cannot be protested.
How far apart are the bases in a professional baseball diamons?
The baseball playing field (or diamond) is shaped like a diamond. There are three bases (first, second, and third) are on the corners away from home plate. The distance between these bases (on the basepath or distance straight from first base to second base, or second base to third base, etc.) is 90 feet in Major League baseball. In Little League, the distance in 60 feet.
When should you use round or around. He went around the corner or he went round the corner?
You would use "around" in this situation, as it implies a direction and not a shape. "He went AROUND the corner." However, in some situations, you may round a corner. For example, a baserunner in baseball passing by third base and heading for home plate can be said to round the corner towards home, in reference to the path in which the runner takes around the basepath. Rather than running a straight line to third base and then a straight line to home plate, the runner takes the corner at full speed and thus, ROUNDS the corner in an arced path.
What is the name of the area that baseball players run on in the infield?
If you are talking about the area bounded by the base lines, its 8,100 square feet (90 x 90). But if you're talking about the area bounded by the outside edge of the dirt, this can vary from field to field.
What is the value of a New York Yankees vintage gumball pin with a yellow base path?
From your description it sounds like you might have a 1956 Yellow Basepath pin, also designated by collectors as a PM15 pin. The value will vary on the player pictured. The 32 pin set is very sought after, and sell between $50. and $1,200 each depending on player, and condition. Mickey Mantle the high end pin professionally graded in Near min / mint condition has sold for $1,200 at auction. In excellent condition (non graded) sells for about $500. These green pins with yellow base paths have the facsimile signature of the respective ballplayer at the bottom. The pins were made available in gumball machines in 1956 for a penny. I will leave a link below of a price guide that shows pictures of some pins. If this is not the pin you are referring to get back to me with more info and I'll see if I can help you out.
How many feet constitutes a home run?
It's 90 feet along each edge of the diamond, so a home run would be 360 feet.If you're asking how far you have to hit a ball for it to be considered a home run, there's no answer. Anything beyond the rear fence, but the position of the rear fence varies in different parks... in fact, the distance often varies considerably within a park, with the distance just inside the foul line on either side being not the same as the distance to the center of center field. Often the left field and right field distances aren't even the same.
