Answer #14 On July 19, 1933, Rick Ferrell of the Red Sox played against his brother Wes Ferrell of the Indians. Each will hit a home run making this the first time brothers on opposing teams hit home runs during the same game.
Tony and Al Cuccinello were the first to do it in the NL, 1935.

FINAL ANSWER 11
If the count is 3 and 2 and a runner is caught stealing for the third out, the same batter leads off the next inning. His count starts over again so he can work it to 3 and 2 again. That's 10 pitches. The eleventh pitch the batter strikes out.
MLB baseball official rule # 6.04 states:
A batter has legally completed his time at bat when he is put out or becomes a runner.
Since he was neither put out or became a runner in his first plate appearence, he is continuing the same at bat when he gets up to lead off the next inning with the count starting over again.
Final Standings
basenoc - *84 pts
jimmy13 - *79 pts ballis - *68 pts rzobb - *47 pts strosfan - *13 pts servo - *10 pts Vader - *10 pts Limey_mike - *9 pts Zigzag - *3 pts thor - *3 pts getchasome - *2 pts
Congratulations to Basenoc for pulling it out in the end. ....and not making me think up a tough tiebreaker.
Thank you to all who participated. I'll start a new season as soon as I can come up with 20 more acceptable questions (I have about 6 or 7 left from this season's research)
I'll work on your trophy tonight.
