  1. mohammed Said,

    do we have to add both national leage eastern division and american league eastern division

  2. Danny Said,

    What type of like math are we going to be usen

  3. Taylor F Said,

    um i woould like to know how baseball actually works ; like i get the score stuff and like bases but i just don’t get what it’s all about!

  4. micaela Castro Said,

    I actually dont like baseball

  5. morganL. Said,

    even though i dislike baseball. im willing to learn more about it. but i think its reeeeeeaaaaaaalllllyyyyyy boring 2 watch. but wat evr. :) .

  6. Selwyn B. Said,

    I actuallly do not like baseball at all. I do not know anything about baseball except you have to hit the ball with a bat and you have to run bases. I really only know the basics. I would like to know alittle bit more about baseball.

  7. khadijah M Said,

    my dad is really into baseball and i am glad that we are doing a project about baseball. it would be nice to get to know more about the sport so when my dad watches baseball we can talk more about it together. i also think this will be a very fun project to work on. it is about math but it is also about a fun sport. i think by putting a sport with a math project makes kids more excited about working on this project.

  8. alexis a. Said,

    well, i dont really know that much about baseball, i only know the basics lol. like a home run and when the batter is batting and that stuff other than that i dont know anything. so im hopping to learn a lot more about baseball while im doing this project. the reason i dont know that much about baseball because my family is into football:) i dont really lke that sport to much because i cant really play at all.

  9. Gabrielle T. Said,

    i know alot about baseballl but i feel that i need to know more . i need to no little things and i need to no like how little details thats all i need to know. :)

  10. Hector L. Said,

    Idon’t know much about baseball because I don’t like it or watch it. So I need to know alot of stuff about it. I think that we will have to use all sorts of math for this project.

  11. justin m Said,

    i like base ball but dont watch it as much because it is a very slow sport. i preffer hockey. but i love the boston redsox and try to follow them throughout the season. and watch there trade between other teams ect.

  12. Jordan Said,

    in baseball they use adding and multiplication to find the overall averages..

  13. Peggyrose D. Said,

    I know enought about baseball i dont really watch it much my moms the baseball fan in are family. Even thought i dont watch baseball much i still know alot about it. But i would like to learn more. :)

  14. Darius Hilario Said,

    i know alot of stuff about baseball. The only things i dont know are probally the players mostly. I know the basics about almost everything. Like batting, throwing, catching, outfielding and stances/ posittions. I would want to more professional stuff in baseball.

  15. Mrs. Johnson Said,

    I hope you all blog back to your classmates on some of the topics they want to know about. Can you explain the sport of baseball in your next comment? I hope you all recognize the math involved in the sport by completing our World Series project! Great job blogging and keep up the good work!

  16. Yanellis C Said,

    I kindda know about baseball since my brother plays but i would like to know a little bit more. I think were going to learn fraction, decimals,etc…. :)

  17. Chris D Said,

    Im not a big baseball fan because it is a slow sport but i do know enough about it to follow it. I am a Yankees fan and i try to follow their season.

  18. Damion E Said,

    hmm……what is baseball…..jkjk…..uhhhh…….i have no idea on what to say!!!…ohwell :)

  19. Brittany C. Said,

    Why are there only 9 innings in 1 game? Why cant there be 3,5, or 8 innings. There is a lot of math at a baseball game. You can estimate how far a ball goes in the air.

  20. Sonika V Said,

    i realyy dnt like basball ..but im willingg to learnn more aboutt it :]

  21. MackenzieV. Said,

    i relle dont like baseball….butttttttt…….if we have to do a project on it im ok with it. i would prefer lacross or basketball over baseball ;)

  22. Victoria Said,

    i know alot about baseball but i would like to know more. :)

  23. Nikki Said,

    i guess i kind of understand baseball. i’m really confused as to when & if the baseball games even started. i can tell this project is going to be difficult because i’m trying to find information for my project already and im doing terribly. :(

  24. najae Said,

    i dont know much about baseball. My dad 10 knows a lot a lot about it. the most i know about basball is the yankees.
    :) :D :D O:

  25. Frederick A. Said,

    i really don’t like baseball but now it seems interresting

  26. Jeff M Said,

    I like baseball, playing baseball and watching baseball both are something to talk about….

  27. Dan Said,

    awesome blog

  28. Courtney R Said,

    Do we have to watch baseball to understand the project???

  29. Nala B Said,

    I dont like baseball I think its really boring and hard to understand the only thing I understand about it is that you go up to bat hit the ball and run other than that I think its confusing. I think for this project we will have to use a lot of division and mulitipication.

  30. elijah Said,

    i dony think there is that much math needed in baseball cause all u need to now is the scores and how to caculate them. i think this priject will be really fun

  31. Alexander Strika Said,

    When evr my dad gets tickets to the blue claws game we go and we get the box seats =D

  32. Alexander Strika Said,

    i would also want to know alot about base ball like what a RBI is

  33. Kishan Said,

    i LOVE BASEBALL and love the YANKEES

  34. Kasey P. Said,

    i wanna know wat how baseball works like wat type of piches they r gonna do nd how many wins nd games they done

  35. Chris.S Said,

    yankees rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  36. Brooks L Said,

    I know that in baseball you have to have a certain number of runs and hits to score points to win.

  37. Briana N Said,

    Well, I really don’t know MUCH about baseball, but I want to learn MORE about it. Obviously, almost all of us know the basics of it, bat; ball; bases; running; mph; etc.. but there is ALOT more to learn about I am guessing; but I want to know more. :] (:

  38. Melissa I. Said,

    I don’t know that much about baseball, but I want to learn more.I think they use subtraction and addition to calculate the scores.I hope I learn alot about baseball doing this project.

  39. amara cherif Said,

    what team r left in the playoffs and we might be calculateing persntages of teams and averages of players also the yankees are going to go to da world series and win it is gona be or 28 champion ship yankees rule

  40. Zana B. Said,

    Im really not into baseball like that so im not too concerned about it. But i would like to check out that project or w.e because i like to try out new things :D !

  41. Michelle Manrique Said,

    I really don’t know baseball but I know that they need a bat a ball ,that it has like bases and they need like uniforms.

  42. Katelynn A. Said,

    The types of math in baseball is every from geomatry to multiplication.

  43. Bjourn A. Said,

    I don’t know that much about baseball because i don’t like it.I know that you have to hit the ball to score or a homerun. On defence youm have to catch the ball to get three outs.

  44. Paige F. Said,

    i’ve only ever seen one minor league baseball game with camp. I know about innings and outs and stuff, but i dont really get the game. What is the point what are they trying to do? Is it just to get more points and to get the other team out?

  45. Alyssa K Said,

    Some things i picked up from watching baseball were how to get a grand slam. To get a grand slam you must hit a home run when three people are on the bases. Another thing i learned was that a baseball is thrown measured by miles per hour.

  46. Kianna C. Said,

    I don’t know that much about baseball and there’s not much i want to know-.

  47. chriso Said,

    i think phillies will win

  48. morganL. Said,

    i Barely know anything about baseball so i cant helpp. :p

  49. Khadijah M Said,

    the type of math we might be using in this project is divsion and changing numbers into percentages

  50. Anthony M. Said,

    I think the NY Yankees and either the Philles or the Angels may go to the World Series. Which team do you think will go the World Series? Comment Back Your Answer!!

  51. mohammed r Said,

    what kind of math are we gonna do for this i really hate baseball

  52. Taylor Said,

    here’s a little backround information about baseball! um when you make it around every base and get to home ; it’s a run; also if a ball goes over the fence.. it’s a homerun!

  53. madhia m. Said,

    baseball? not somthinq i like. borinq! and maybe somtimes its excitinq but i dont know. i qet all the basic stuff -&- score keppinq – but i’ll learn :D

  54. alexis a Said,

    umm well i really cant explain baseball because i dont know to much about it. but i can explain some of it, i know that you have to play against other teams and win to get to the play-offs. if u win in the play-offs then u go to a higher thing and if u win then u get a trophy. thats all i know about baseball so far:) and im hoping to learn more.

  55. kaasidy k Said,

    i would like to know what type of math we will be using to do this project

  56. Selwyn B. Said,

    I would have to agree with Justin. I would not perfer hockey but I would like to do basketball. Even though I like basketball alot but if I had to pick a team that I would like to win the World Series, it would have to be the Yankees.

  57. sam p Said,

    i think we might learn in math how long a homerun will be

  58. madhia m. Said,

    i know that they use math – somehow xP

  59. Gabrielle T. Said,

    well i know little things about baseball like how there is innings and there is fouls balls and homeruns but i know as well that math is involed with baseball like the averge batting and how many homeruns are in a inning and all that suff thats all i no about the baseball games sooooo yah:)

  60. Taylor Said,

    i am so confused about basebball ! i don’t get all the divisons and stuff.. it’s just too confusing can some one please explain to me how it works!

  61. Komali Said,

    now i will understand when my friend watches and talks about baseball!

  62. Brijen P Said,

    I know alot about baseball, so this should be easy.

  63. jeff m Said,

    I really dont know much about baseball but i only know like bases, batting, outfield ect.

  64. Komali Said,

    i hate watching baseball but i like playing it and i am really good at it ! :)

  65. Andrew m Said,

    i like baseball and know this stuff baseball can be boring but fun though i like the mets but i really dont follow it

  66. Sarah M Said,

    Khadijiah!
    I agree. I really don’t know anything about baseball, but my family likes it. I think itd be cool to know more about it, so this project will be interesting. :P

  67. andres Said,

    my famiyl isn’ really into baseball so i really wanna learn how to play and understand but i like the Red SOxx

  68. sonika v Said,

    i dnt relle like baseball but i wanna lernn ……:]…..

  69. Isaac s Said,

    I no nothing about baseball but i would like to learn aboutit!!

  70. Dan Said,

    Baseball would be more fun if….. well it envolves some math to figure out percentages, average, and you will need to know ur basic math terms such as multiply divide add and subtract : D

  71. najae Said,

    i personaly dont like to watch baseball.but i would play it

  72. Veronica G. Said,

    well i know some things about baseball, but not a lot. i’d like to know how many outs there is in order to switch position and stuff. The math we might learn has to do with how many homeruns they run in total and how many strikes this is how math is involved.

  73. Jessica Said,

    I really dont know anything about baseball, except for the fact you run bases when you hit the ball xD… i find the sport VERY boring, i think thats why i only know maybe 3 teams :] BUT !, i am willing to learn more teams and more about the sport

  74. Frederick A. Said,

    i really don’t like or even get baseball but i’m starting to enjoy it. :)

  75. Brijen P Said,

    Yankees RULE!!!

  76. Patrick S Said,

  78. Katelynn A. Said,

    Why can’t girls play baseball we are just as good as the boys maybe even bette.

    YANKEES RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  79. Katelynn A. Said,

    I don’t think that we have to watch baseball to do the project but you should ask mrs. johnson just to make shore

  80. Briana N Said,

    Alexissss!!!!!!!! lol umm basball isn’t so hard to learn about but we should have fun with this.

    welll anywaaayyyyy……

    my family is more soccer and basketball oriented but baseball could be nice to learn , but it could be easy , i used to play softball

  81. komali Said,

    this project is cool

  82. AndrES Said,

    i really like this blog and i learned about baseball yesterdy i understannd it i just dont understand the purpose

  83. Sarah M Said,

    ISAAC!
    I agree. :P
    I know nothing about baseball and that will probably never change. Only I get Andrew, who knows the season backwards and forwards, and you dont. :D
    Jeff says SunnyD
    ~Me XD

  84. veronica G. Said,

    i agree with Chris S. yankees do rule!!! they are the best ones.
