How much runs do the Phillies have to run before the base runners run 1 mile?

It;s probably a little lower than the answers given here due to the fact that in order to run the bases the fastest and most efficient way you need to round the bases (which is a little longer in distance than just 90 feet x 4.)
But mathematically it would be the 14.667 everyone has said.

Well each base path is 90 feet. There are four bases in all. 90 x 4 = 360 feet
1 mile is 5,280 feet
5280 / 360 = 14.67
The Phillies have to score 15 runs to exceed a mile.

Well there is 90 feet between each base so for a runner to go from home around all the bases back to home and score a run that is 360ft.
So: 5280ft (1 mile) divided by 360ft = 14.67 runs or times around the bases.

The diamond area is 90 feet on a side

If the bases are run on that minimal path then 360 feet per run or 14.666667 runs to the mile - so 15 complete runs will exceed a mile.

If I understand the question the answer is 15 runs.
5280 feet in a mile
90 feet between the bases
4 bases in a run (home to first, first to second, second to third, third to home)
5280/90 = 58.666 bases needed for a mile
58.666/4 = 14.666 runs for a mile

divide 5280 by 90 and that will tell you.;
