How many baseballs are used in a season?
I believe my math is faulty in my first response below. The following is the workup for the estimate of total baseballs used in a Regular Season in the MLB:2010 average pitches per team per game.....146lifespan of a Baseball in pitches.........................7games in the Regular Season........................162number of teams in the league........................30balls per team per game..................................21 = 146 ÷ 7balls used in Reg Seas by team..................3,379 = 21 x 162balls used in Reg Seas by all teams......101,366 = 30 x 3,379more than anyone can count I'm sure, lol, but as a guess, I'll say around half a million if not moreIt has been calculated that the average life-span of a baseball is 7 pitches. The average pitch count in a game is 285. So a good guess is about 41 baseballs to a game. There are 162 games in a season, so almost 6,596 per team, per year. There are 30 teams, so that's approximately 197,871.43 baseballs used per season. This only accounts for regular season games.This number does not include pre-season games, the All Star break and the post-season games, including the World Series.
How is basedball IP calculated?
For each full inning pitched, calculate 1 into the IP. If a pitcher only pitches part of an inning, find the number of outs and calculate it into a decimal. For example, let's say a pitcher pitched 5 innings and left the game with two outs. His IP would be 5.2. The reliever for him pitches 2 innings and leaves the game with no outs. Since he came in with two outs and continued two more innings, he would have 2.1 IP. The closing pitches pitches the rest of the game, or 2 innings. He would have 2 IP.
When a pitcher throws the ball in the dirt the umpire takes it out of the game. If the batter hits a ground ball why is it also not taken out?
A pitch which hits the dirt often becomes discolored or has scuff marks on it due to the nature of the soil material around home plate. This happens at a fairly high rate of speed A batted ball in the infield usually hits grass first and at an angle that these scuff marks do not occur. A ball that is chopped and hits the HP circle is taken out of play. This is more so in the major league ranks, then in HS, college, or low minor leagues, where baseballs are at a premium.

What is astro baseball in enron box worth?
There were baseballs given away at the official opening day of Enron Field on April 7, 2000. There were also souvenir baseballs sold at the stadium but not marked with a date as the baseballs given away, and did not come in a box. The Inaugural baseballs only sell for about $7.-$15. each. I saw one auction where both an Enron Field Baseball cap, and the baseball together sold for $6.99 I guess it's time as a collectible has not arrived as of yet. The baseball cap was given away at a game played on March 30, 2000, and I have heard that a baseball was also given away as well, but I do not know the details of the baseball. The game was an exhibition game played between the Astros and the Yankees, and was the very first game played at the stadium. Roger Clemens started for the Yankees, and Dwight Gooden was the pitcher for the Astros.
