What is the distance from home plate to second base?

It's not any kind of round number like 90 feet (the distance from base to base). It's 127 feet, 3 3/8 inches from home plate to second base. It's the same exact distance from first to third, too. When constructing a field, the official rules say the first step, after putting home plate down, is to measure from home to second. Then you figure out where first and third should go based on home and second. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knickerbocker_Rules [Link added March 25, 2008 -- Zbeckabee] Jul 29 00, 12:44 AM

When a catcher has to throw from home plate to second base, what is the distance on an official National League field? The score of the baseball game is five to four, in favor of the home team. It is the last of the sevent inning and not one man on either side has reached second base. Can you explain, why? If there are two base runners on first and third and the first base runner takes second, is that considered a stolen base, even though there is a man at third? What is the distance to the Sun from Earth?
