What can you tell me about sand lot baseball?
The term "Sandlot baseball" started years ago when children in urban areas would find an empty lot referred to as a "sandlot" to play baseball. It was far more common to find an empty lot with the area not fully developed. It was not an organized league but a group of kids that formed teams, by choosing sides, or playing against other neighborhoods. Unlike an organized Little League, played on a grassy baseball field, the sandlot got it's name because it was lacking grass. Teams were typically chosen by two team "captains", normally the best two kids. A bat would be tossed from one captain to the other. The other captain would grab the bat with one hand. Then each captain would take turns gripping the bat hand over hand (or sometimes just two fingers in a "V') until the last captain grabbed the top of the knob. He would get first pick to form a team.

What is a push back in hockey?
Before a hockey match a coin is tossed to see who gets the push back. Whichever team captain wins picks either the the direction in which to score, or whether or not to have first push back. The person who plays the centre-forward position takes the push back from the centre of the half-way line on the pitch. when the whistle is blown for the match to start, the centre-forward passes the ball back to a member of their team- that's how play begins. A push back is taken after every goal.
In which US state did the Frisbee originate?
Bridgeport Connecticut, by the Frisbie Baking Company (pie makers) Later marketed & mass produced by "Wham-O", inc. http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa980218.htm The Frisbie Baking Company (1871-1958) of Bridgeport, Connecticut, made pies that were sold to many New England colleges. Hungry college students soon discovered that the empty pie tins could be tossed and caught, providing endless hours of game and sport. Many colleges have claimed to be the home of 'he who was first to fling.' Yale College has even argued that in 1820, a Yale undergraduate named Elihu Frisbie grabbed a passing collection tray from the chapel and flung it out into the campus, thereby becoming the true inventor of the Frisbie and winning glory for Yale. That tale is unlikely to be true since the words 'Frisbie's Pies' was embossed in all the original pie tins and from the word 'Frisbie' was coined the common name for the toy.

Why is a baseball thrown by the pitcher into the dirt thrown out but one hit on the ground in the infield kept in the game?
I think either ball is tossed out, if there is a mark noticed on the ball. You will see the defensive team do this, b/c any mark on the ball enhances the batters ability to see the ball rotation on the pitch, thereby allowing him to effectively anticipate what movement the ball will make.

Why does the ball get handed to the umpire when it hits the dirt at homebase and not when the ball gets hit and hits the dirt in the infield?
The ball gets handed to the umpire once it hits the dirt and not in the instance of the baseball hitting the dirt in the field is up to the Home Plate Umpire's discretion however Pitchers have the rights to request a new baseball provided it becomes too dirty to get a grip on. Pitchers will like the dirt on the ball because it will be able to move more however the opposing team and Umpires will find this an unfair advantage which is the reason in which baseballs will usually be tossed out of play to the umpire but it doesn't always happen in the event of a batted ball hitting the infield dirt.
