Because the pitcher is typically the worst hitter in the lineup, and the last spot in the lineup gets the least at-bats.

Who was the last pitcher to bat in starting lineup in American league game?
Andy Sonnastine
If your team goes ahead in the top of the inning and a new pitcher goes in in the bottom of the inning - which pitcher gets the win - the starting pitcher or the 2nd pitcher?
The pitcher who got the last out in the previous bottom of that inning. In other word, that pitcher can be credited with the win by making only one pitch. If I'm called in as a reliever and get a ground out to end the inning and then my team goes ahead in the top of the next inning, I would be the winning pitcher. Even if i only threw one pitch.
If the starting pitcher is relieved in the 3rd inning and his team is ahead at that time who gets the win the starting pitcher or the reliever?
it all depends. if the starting pitcher goes 5ins or more and leaves the game with the lead he is in-titled to the win. the way the closer gets the win is if he goes in tied or losing and he is the last one to throw a pitch before his team takes the lead and wins the game.

Who was the last pitcher in a world series to not bat 9th?
I presume you mean a STARTING pitcher, listed as such on the initial lineup. When a reliever comes in, it's not unusual for the manager to remove a fielder and place the pitcher in the batting order such that he would be the ninth batter the next time his team comes to bat -- meaning the reliever might be anywhere from first to ninth. Even during the regular season, and even when a pitcher is a very good hitter (Don Newcombe hit .359 in 1955, and was used as a pinch hitter 23 times), placing the starting pitcher anywhere but ninth in the initial batting order is EXTREMELY rare (other than Tony LaRussa). The only recorded time this happened in a World Series was Game 4 of the 1918 Series. No surprise -- Babe Ruth was the pitcher, and he batted sixth.

Who is announced at the Baltimore Ravens games?
First, the starting lineup of the visiting team receives a "warm welcome" from Ravens fans, as they're booed out of their tunnel. After that, the starting lineup of the Ravens are announced, but usually the key players. Until the last home game against Indianapolis, Ray Lewis was always the last person announced out of the Ravens tunnel. He always had a small patch of actual grass sod waiting for him to "anoint" himself with it, and to do his famous "Squirrel Dance". Even visiting teams are always captivated by the spectacle.
