Sammy Sosa. He was the first non-american and first non-white player to hit 60 home runs in a season when he did it in 1998.
That depends. Do you mean any given baseball player, or the smartest, most studious baseball player? If you mean the smartest non-player vs. the smartest player, no. If you mean the smartest non-player vs. just anyone who has played the game, then yes. ---- I agree, yet, this is quite a philosophical question. I would sugest that experience pays great dividends in anything. In a sport as complex as baseball, experience is really needed to know the in's and out's of the game. That is not to say that a non-player can't be extreamly knowledgeable. == == Well actually the person who has never played baseball can be smarter than a baseball player if that person who never played baseball studied baseball alot. No some one that has never played dosent know more just because you have to play it to get to really know it ANSWER: Anything is possible but i think it is less likely for a non-baseball player to know more than a player _________________________________________ Same. I truly agree. I play baseball myself and im pretty sure people can out wit me. ---- I agree too. I play baseball and I'm on my high school team and everything but it really helps me when my coach yells out pointers. My coaches have not played baseball. Yea i know a lot of people that might know more
Mike Morgan played for 12 franchises from 1978-2002, more than any other player.

Johnny Mize of the New York Giants had 51 home runs and 42 strikeouts in the 1947 season.
joe dimaggio
yes
yes. a person who has never played baseball can know more ABOUT it than a mlb player but this does not mean that if you were asked to play you could do it well. there is more to baseball than knowledge there is also skill, both are important but they rely on each other
Sammy Sosa. He was the first non-american and first non-white player to hit 60 home runs in a season when he did it in 1998.
The object of baseball is to run across home plate more times than the opposing team.
That is more of an opinion rather than a fact.
A baseball player makes more money then a basketball player... most money payed for a baseball player right now is 30.5 mill for Alex Rodriguez. Most for a basketball player this year(2007-08) is 21 mill for Kevin Garnet!
when the team have more than 5 more home runs than you the game automatically stops
Sammy Sosa (66 in 1998, 63 in 1999 and 64 in 2001)
Yogi Berra won more World Series (10) than any other baseball player.
Better than who? They have good potential but seem to struggle more often than not.
