Re: Baseball Trivia - 8 ways to get to first base
[ QUOTE ]
Quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- single, hit by pitch, walk, strike out dropped ball, bunt, catcher interferance, error, balk, fielders choice, pinch runner. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. [/ 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

Re: Baseball Trivia - 8 ways to get to first base
Walk, HBP, hit safely, Catcher's Interference, safe on error, fielder's choice, obstruction, dropped 3rd strike, runner hit by batted ball. Hey wait, that's 9.

FYI, I did not post those answers that you posted in your response. It was a quote from another poster. See, when I see people flaming me like this, I expect the poster to know the difference between my comments/answers and someone else's. Clearly this is not the case. LAME!

Re: Baseball Trivia - 8 ways to get to first base

Re: Baseball Trivia - 8 ways to get to first base
FIshNChips I agree with you except I dont think a wild pitch is considered an error, right? It's is own stat, just a wild pitch. So, a 3rd strike wild pitch would be another way to reach base. I'm probably way off on this though.

Re: Baseball Trivia - 8 ways to get to first base
I have seen a lot of inaccuracies in this thread. WHen the batter reaches on a dropped third strike it is not an error; it is either a passed ball or a wild pitch. When the batter reaches on catcher's interference that is scored an error. When a batted ball strikes the umpire after passing a fielder it is a live ball. There is no such thing as "fielder's interference" it is called obstruction; there is catcher's interference and interference (interference is when a member of the hitting team inerfers with the fielding team). Ok I guess I will list 8 ways to get to forst (I dont' know if 8 is complete or not).
1. 1B 2. BB 3. HB 4. K followed by PB or WP 5. E 6. FC 7. obstruction 8. pinch runner for a runner at first
