SoxFan1 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 QUOTE (G&T @ May 14, 2009 -> 11:54 AM) I got 8 out of 10. Honestly, I cheated on the ways to get to first. I was just really curious. I was only able to come up with like 5 ways to get to first on my own. I came up with 7 off the top of my head so I assumed it was 8 and I missed something... Single Base on Balls IBB (wasn't sure if they deciphered) HBP Dropped Third-Strike Fielder's Choice Reached on Error Looking at the list now, I can't believe I didn't get catcher interference. We used to stand WAAAAY back in the batters box in high school if the catcher's arm was out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to stand WAAAAY back in the batters box in high school if the catcher's arm was out there. The 8 ways are as follows. Hit. Walk. Hbp. Third strike not caught. Fielder's choice. Error. Catcher interference. Fielder obstruction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 You can also ground into a double play to reach your way onto first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is then ruled as a fielder's choice. QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 17, 2009 -> 12:39 PM) ESPN did there thing, but I always thought there were 8 ways to get on base. ANd those above were them. Every other way they listed is not correct. They really should have done some homework. I except nothing other than that from espn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I except nothing other than that from espn. I think it was just a stupid article in ESPN the mag that listed every possible way not just under their broad term. The joke is that this quiz used it.

The joke is that this quiz used it. If a fair ball hits a runner, the base runner that got hit would be out, the hitter is then scored with a hit. They already covered a ''hit'' Fan obstruction is the very same thing as spectactor interferance, which is also a hit. They already covered a ''hit'' Failure to deliver a pitch within 20 seconds AKA illegal pitch is just a ball. If there is an illegal pitch say on a 3-2 pitch the batter it goes in the scorebook as a walk. A ''walk'' has already been covered.. A sac bunt which fails to advance a runner is a fielder's choice. Etc, etc, etc... They are just relisting another form of the only 8 ways to reach first... whether it be a hit, walk, fielders choice, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 6 out of 10. I disappointed myself. The one about how many ways can a player get to first really threw me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
