Satchel gave nicknames to all of his pitches, like the bee-ball, the barber, the two-hump blooper, the jump-ball, the trouble-ball, the long-ball, the bat dodger and his fastball, which he called Long Tom. His most unusual throw was called the hesitation pitch, because he stopped his arm for a second right before he released the ball to throw the batterâs timing off.
Jenga is played with 54 wooden blocks. Each block is three times longer than its width, and one fifth as thick as its length 1.5 cm Ã 2.5 cm Ã 7.5 cm (0.59 in Ã 0.98 in Ã 2.95 in).
There is no universal or standard size for city blocks. To determine how many blocks are equal to one mile, you first need to find the size of the blocks in the city you are asking about, and do the math. 5,280 feet equals one mile. To find out how many city blocks would equal a mile, divide 5,280 feet by the number of feet in a block in the city in question. For example, the blocks in Tucson, Arizona are 400 feet long. Diving 5,280 by 400 means that 13.2 blocks would equal 1 mile.
