Owner for the Chicago Cubs that employee midgets as vendors in Wrigley to avoid blocking playing view?

The 1950's came right before fee agency as well as the beginning of expansion and West Coast baseball- and this is not a knock on teams like the Dodgers and Giants, but a lot of people back east who lost their teams during or right after the 1950's- the A's in Philadelphia, the Braves in Boston, the Senators in Washington- have never forgiven the owners for moving teams who had built followings for decades. No one thinks expansion really helped baseball either.

Why is it that the Yankee fans think that they deserve respect from other fans?

0.00 is it.

Does ne 1 know where i can find a tennesse softball tshirt?

Whats up Tom... Well I was not around during the 50's yrs but the Yanks had some greats playn at that time! So I'm sure it was exciting! For my age which is 32, I loved the mid-late 80's! Some of the 70's greats were still playn and finishing out there careers and some serious up and coming greats were just gettn started! 83 was a great rookie season Boggs, Ripken, and Sandberg were just a few that came out of that year not to mention Gooden and Clemens in 85 and 86! well I could go on forever but you get my drift! peace, Mizz

Babe Ruth is the Sultan of Swat, because he had nearly 4,000 less times at bat than Hank Aaron.?

Boy, the fifties were boring. There was little in the way of league parity (as you state, the Yanks, Giants, and Dodgers were the only teams who had a legitimate shot year in and year out), and the style of play was very reliant on the homerun, which meant very little strategy. There were very few stolen bases, lots of strikeouts, and very little small-ball.

I'd go with the 1980's, for the sheer width of styles of play at the type. You had teams built around speed, (noteably the Cardinals), and teams that relied on power (the Mets, Red Sox) or great pitching. You had sluggers like Schmidt and Murray and Guerrero, great all-round guys like Mattingly, Brett and Ripken, brilliant fielders like Ozzie Smith, and amazing burners like Rickey Henderson, Vince Coleman, Eric Davis, and Tim Raines, and you had high average hitters like Boggs and Gwynn. Clemens and Gooden came up, Morris and Steib were in their prime, and you had buckets full of relief pitchers: Sutter, Goose, Quiz, Fingers, Henke. It was such a diverse era of play, with so many contrasting philosophies. And not a single team won back-to-back WS that decade - every year there was a surprise.

I'll take the rollicking, unpredictable, diverse 1980's as the best decade in baseball.

How do i hit the ball really hard in a game of rounders?

For me its now cause theres a lot of latin players that are awesome and most of them are the best in their teams, theres not racial problems, and every year has an unexpected final not like before that always was the yankees, now theres more rivalities among the division leaders SF n SD or MIN n CWS, and are comin new records, so these were a few words.

Why do AM radios pick up radio waves better at night?

It was WAAAY before my time, but I'd have to say that the best era was in the 1920s and 1930s when the true legends of baseball plied their trade. Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, et al. Baseball was America's sport then and the opportunity to see The Babe, to me, would have been incomparable.

Who would you rather have on you team in the prime of their career (Roger Clemens or Pedro Martinez)? Explain?

I have nothing against the 50's, in fact it was the first thought in my mind. But to be honest, I think the period between 1930 to 1941 cemented the future of baseball.

Why does baseball teams wait so long to call a game .?

0.00 is it the lowest era by a pither????????...

Bonds or McGwire?

I'd say right now, as the Yankees haven't won anything lately.

Yes, definately right now.

When did Cubs fans lose their class?

For individual sluggers it has to be the 50s. Mays, Aaron, Musial, Snider, Mantle, Kiner, . The golden age.
For league parity it would be the 80s. The AL East was always a dogfight. 81 Yankees, 82 Brewers, 83 O's, 84 Tigers, 85 Jays, 86 Red Sox. Six of the seven teams won that division during that stretch. With Cleveland in the cellar as it should be.
