How much do you think a 1941 Wilson baseball glove would be.?
If a defensive player throws his glove to stop a batted ball, the batter and all runners are entitled to 3 bases. The same penalty is applied if the fielder catches the ball with his hat or any other part of his uniform. (MLB rules 7.05.b and c)I don't know if those would be scored as a triple, but those are the only 3 base penalties on the books.

You mean ground rule double ??No lie i pitch 60 in little league can somebody please tell me if thats slow for a kid whos 12 ?
A ground rule double is when the ball, hit in play goes out of play over the fence or is touched by a fan after landing in the playing field.Sorry, no such thing as a ground rule triple.
What happens if bases are loaded w/ 2 outs and the cather drops the ball on the 3rd strike?
no such thing that i know of.It's extremely rare. None of the current 30 ballparks have an automatic triple in effect.
I have heard that Forbes Field, where the Pirates used to play, had such an immensely deep center field (over 450 feet) that the grounds crew would park the batting cage out there rather than store it off-field, and that any live ball that hit the cage was an automatic triple, but I've never seen this confirmed.
There are a few three-base awards that umpires are obliged to give, but those are based on illegal actions by the defense.
I'm not sure I would call this a "ground rule" triple, but if a fielder intentionally throws his glove at a ball and it hits it, the batter is awarded third base and all runners in front of him legally score. If the glove is thrown and strikes a ball that eventually goes over the fence for a home run, the batter is awarded the home run with no penalty to the defense.
Does anyone know any spanish websites that shows MLB games for free?
No such thing.How do you calculate baseball era?
Just to further elaborate Jeremy's post, the 3 base penalty is only enforced if the player's hat or glove actually make contact with the ball. There is no penalty if the ball is not touched. Whether or not contact was made is up to the judgement of the umpire.(c) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a fair ball. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril.
But that I know of, there is no ground rule triple for a batted ball, just additional base penalties enforced against the defense which allow a runner to advance
Has any MLB player ever hit a home run cycle?
There is no such rule.I know that an umpire, at his discretion, can award a third base to a runner when a ground rule double is hit, if he feels that runner would have scored. Rarely happens, but I've seen it. Not sure if he can award 3rd to the batter, however. I've never seen that happen, and I'm sure the manager of the other team would pitch a fit if it happened.
Do you think i should be suspended fo the rest of the season(40 games)?
You can't have a ground-rule triple.In 1967, who finished second to Carl Yastrzemski for the Red Sox team lead with 20 home runs?
I have never heard of a ground rule triple. I have heard of ground rule doubles and book rule doubles, but unless the field had a major quirk in it I would find it hard to imagine a field that would use a three base award due to some sort of obstruction or field variance.More Questions & Answers...
