That would also combat the occasional fan interference problems.

I think that you would need to alter too many ballparks for that to work though. The yellow line is pretty silly but adding a fence or something wouldn’t look too nice as well.
I also wanted to share this a few weeks back but I forgot to. But I remembered how we have girlfriends that ask cute questions during a game. Well a couple or so weeks ago when the Yankees were playing the Indians, they showed something like “Yankees/Indians average with RISP” on the screen. And they would often show this stat for most of the series (maybe two or three times a game for every game) because the Yankees had a poor average, while the Indians had a good one. Yet, it wasn’t until game three that she asked me, “What’s RISP?” I just smiled at her and lightly chuckled, that was precious. ----- Respect the BANDS wishes and wait till release day. -- Bradford Cox of Deerhunter |

Hey this question got some friends of mine and I in a furious exchange of emails a few years ago. There is some discussion about it on the web, but I'd rather you not look up the answer.
How many ways can a batter reach first base? _____________________________ Weep to Water the Trees.

What if he has been led along by a radical islamic terrorist organization and positioned to become an influential politician? What if Obama gets into White House and turns out to be some crazy muslim terrorist? What do we do then? We'll be pretty screwed. It could happen." -- by some fucking nutjob |

1. A hit, obviously. 2. Walk. 3. Hit by Pitch. 4. Catcher's Interference. 5. Uncaught third strike. Is there another? Does being a Pinch Runner count? Edit: Oh, you can reach on an error too. ----- Use all your well-learned politesse or I'll lay your soul to waste. |

Not including pinch runner, I think the actual answer is 7 ways. You got the toughies, you're missing a couple of obvious ones.

Yeah i think eric got all of tough ones. I think he only forgot a Fielder's Choice.
But aren't there more, or is that it? ----- Respect the BANDS wishes and wait till release day. -- Bradford Cox of Deerhunter |

That's where the discussion comes into play. Take the "missed third strike" method for instance. Was it a Wild Pitch (scored K-WP) or was it a Passed Ball (scored K-PB)? Some would argue those are two separate ways of getting to first, but from the batter's perspective it is still just a "missed third strike." Another one that I argued vehemently for was fielder's interference. A fielder cannot impeded the runners path to the base, if he does the runner is awarded the base. The reason this is not included in the seven ways is because in the box score, it still goes down as either a hit or an error-- depending upon the situation. _____________________________ Weep to Water the Trees.

Ah yes, I forgot about "Fielder's Choice".

I've never seen first base awarded for fielder's interference. I've seen runners called out for interfering, but not the other way around.
I'm not saying it can't happen, I've just never seen it. Il n'y a pas de hors-texte. |

I'm not sure if I've ever seen it either. It's actually called "Obstruction." Here's the rule:

Not unusual at the lower level ranks. It usually involves the catcher interfering with the batter during a pitch actually. |

You're right. I've definitely seen more of that. Il n'y a pas de hors-texte. |

That would fall into "Catcher's Interference" which is a separate rule. I've seen "obstruction" called at second several times. On a ground ball to first with a man on first, the second baseman inadvertantly gets in the way of the runner trying to get to second, while the first baseman is trying to turn two. _____________________________ Weep to Water the Trees.
