Same old same old - I'll post a question, the next person answers that question and posts a new one. The twist is that these must all have to do with numbers, in a narrative format, with the answer to each question being a number.

To start:

A baker's dozen squared, less the number of "years ago" in Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address," plus the number of blackbirds baked in a pie in "Sing a Song of Sixpence," less half a dozen.

10 ! (Unless you wanted last number to
be .38, in which case it is 1000 !)

Okay, next one :

foundation of the Statue of Liberty
to the top of the torch

Add to that :

The total number of pitches thrown by
Don Larsen in his World Series perfect game.

Divide that sum by :

Number of home runs hit by Albert
Belle during the 1995 MLB season.

Add to that number :

I must be messing up somewhere. I have

354 steps to the top of the torch
+97 pitches thrown by Don Larsen
---
451
÷50 ALbert Belle homers in 1995
---
9.02
+30 career steals by Yogi
---
39.02 <---my answer

I'm guessing you don't want a non-integer...although it's certainly not stipulated!
