Now that we got the obvious joke over with early, let's see if anyone can get this.

single, hit by pitch, walk, strike out dropped ball, bunt, catcher interferance, error, balk, fielders choice, pinch runner. [/ QUOTE ] You got the 8, but that's it. A bunt is the same thing as a single/hit. And a balk does not give the batter first base...it only advances any runners already on base.

Re: Baseball Trivia - 8 ways to get to first base
1. walk
2. HBP 3. catcher interference 4. dropped 3rd strike 5. single 6. fielder's choice 7. fan interference 8. error 9. pinch runner This sure seems like 9 to me, although the fan interference one may be a stretch, but i can envision several scenarios where 1st base would probably be awarded. MrX Edit: add a 10th: runner impedance (1st baseman/pitcher without the ball blocks path of runner to 1st base) MrX

Re: Baseball Trivia - 8 ways to get to first base
I think ESPN the mag recently had 20 different ways to get on first. Some were quite obscure like 'replacing a player who had been traded in the time between a game being suspended and the game concluding.'

A bunt is the same thing as a single/hit. And a balk does not give the batter first base...it only advances any runners already on base. [/ QUOTE ] see, when I see things like this I expect the OP to actually know the correct answer. Given what I read here, that clearly is not the case. LAME! Specifically: "strikeout dropped ball" is an error. This item is redundant. I did not consider "pinch running" as I made an (incorrect) assumption that the OP was asking for 8 ways a "batter" could reach first. I don't believe that spectator/fan interference allows anyone to reach base. The application of fan interference is used in favor of the defense, not the offense. Re: catcher/fielder interference, they are the same as well, my list should have said "fielder" interference. So, I submit an actual 8 item list: 1 - Base Hit 2 - Fielder's Choice 3 - Error 4 - Walk 5 - Hit by pitch 6 - fielder interference 7 - batted ball strikes a runner in fair territory 8 - pinch runner I'm not 100% on this but whoever said a ball hits an umpire is incorrect. A batted ball that hits an umpire in fair territory is still live. Wherever it goes it goes. The illegal pitch comment is interesting... I'm actually not sure on this one and don't care enough to google, though I'm hoping someone will. If you're going to post a question, have the freakin' correct answer! FishNChips
