How come the sound of the baseball getting smacked sounds different?
April 29th, 2010 | 
Author: So when baseball players in majors make contact with baseball, the sound is different when high schoolers, college, or even spring training majors hit the ball. Why is that? Both of their bats are made of medal right?

What happens when a baseball manager gets thrown out of the game by the umpire?
I was watching a baseball game on television. (I won’t say what team) And, the manager came out of the dugout to talk to one of the umpires about a call that he didn’t agree with and the umpire threw him out of the game. What happens when he is thrown out of the game? Where does he go and does he get to come back later in the game?

How do they change baseball fields into football fields?
Some teams use the same baseball field for the city’s football team. How do they change it into a football field? What do they do with the pitchers mound?
How do I start a summer baseball camp?
My friend and I are experienced baseball players graduating college in May. We would love to get into coaching baseball and believe starting a summer baseball camp in our hometown of Weymouth, MA would be a great start. The only problem is we do not know the proper procedure to do so. What steps should we take in order to plan our camp? Are there any legal issues we should know about? Any advice would be great.
How and where should baseball cards be sold?
My dad recently bought a baseball collection from an estate sale. The stuff had never been sorted through, and after doing so, we found some amazing stuff (signed baseballs, augtograhed posters cards, sheets of uncirculated cards). He asked me to try and help sell some of it for him, but the sheer volume that we have is making it ridiculously hard (we had to rent a storage unit to hold his stuff!).
I know a lot of things that we have aren’t necessarily valuable. There are cards that we have a thousand of that may not be worth the box that they are in. I did a little research and found a pricing guide at beckett. But unless someone is looking for the card, it’s not necessarily as valuable as they say it might be.
Other than ebay/yahoo auctions, is there a place to list the cards/other items we have to sell? Is it better to sell it to a store rather than list each of the cards separately? Or, if selling online, should I try to keep these in sets?
