Yes.
Most often it occured in the old days of Baseball. Baseball almanac has the info:
It's true it happened more often in the old days, but you still see it occasionally, mostly when there's a left-hander on the mound. I saw it happen at Fenway Park about seven years ago. And of course Brad Ausmus did it in the 2002 World Series.
Yes, if the ball is pitched in a location where the catcher has a reasonable chance of stopping the ball, that is a passed ball and the error is charged to the catcher. If the ball is pitched in a location where the catcher does NOT have a reasonable chance of stopping the ball, that is a wild pitch and the error is charged to the pitcher. Actually, a passed ball is NOT charged as an error against the catcher. It's simply charged as a passed ball. Not terribly logical, I agree, but that's the rule.
That would be Cy Young. The award, named for him, was not created until the 1950s, long after he retired and passed away.
He only passed english
No. At the time the pitch is made, all players other than the catcher must be in fair territory. Violation of this rule is a balk, and the runner on 3rd would be awarded home.
Passed BallA pitch that should have been fielded by the catcher but was missed, allowing a runner to advance a base.Note: this is not the same thing as a wild pitch, which is scored as the pitchers fault.I presume you mean "passed ball." This is a ball that gets past the catcher when thrown by the pitcher, when the catcher should have caught it. It is distinct from a wild pitch, which is one where the pitcher, not the catcher, is considered to have been at fault. The distinction between the two have no effect on the final score. The decision on whether a ball is a wild pitch or a passed ball is made by the official scorer at the game.
It is an error, charged to the catcher as a passed ball, however, it does not show up in the stats as an error.

No, Tourette's syndrome is not sex-linked. It can be passed on from anyone, and anyone can receive the disease.
There is no written history of them. Everything was passed down through history verbally.
