Baseball Questions with correct
Answers
Baseball is often identified as the great American sport, yet it didn't begin in America.
How are where did this game originate? - answer Baseball originates from a game
called "rounders" that was played by the English. It was named "baseball" in 1744 when
an English book on sports depicted a game of baseball. This same book was then
reprinted in America in 1762 and has been considered an American sport since.
What are some of the physical benefits to be gained from playing baseball? - answer
Some physical benefits that can be gained from playing baseball are arm and leg
strength, because of your reliance on your arm to throw the ball as far as possible, and
your legs to go as fast as possible so as to catch the ball or make it to the plate. This
could also improve your cardiovascular system because you are conditioning your heart
to conserve energy so that you can run faster for longer periods of time. It could also
improve your reflexes and ability to think on your feet because you may be in a tough
situation and need to find a new way to gain more points.
What are "farm teams" and how are they used? - answer "Farm teams" were created
as a way to recruit members from minor leagues to the major leagues. When baseball
was still new, there rules were still being made about transferring players and strict rules
were put in place for recruiting players from minor leagues to join the major leagues.
These "farm teams" are maintained by the major leagues and these players are trained
and eventually move into the major league that owns the "farm team".
How many people make up a typical baseball team and what positions do they play? -
answer On a typical baseball team, there are 9 players. Each of these players have
a specific role in the game. We have our pitcher, catcher, the 3 basemen, one for each,
a shortstop, and the fielders for the 3 different fields on the "diamond", left, right, and
center.
What is a "single"? A "double"? - answer A single occurs after the batter has hit the
ball, he or she starts to run, and if they make it to the base safely, then it counts. A
double occurs at the same time, but if the batter can run to the second and third bases
before the ball has been caught by the basemen.
When does a ball occur? - answer A "ball" occurs when the ball the pitcher threw
doesn't cross the home plate between the batter's armpit and knees.
How is a good slide into a base performed? - answer A good slide into base can be
performed in two ways. It can either be a head first dive into the plate, or the body falls
in a controlled manner, meaning you fall backwards on the outer part of the knee and
lower leg, feet touching the plate.
