There are seven ways a baseball player can legally reach first base without getting a hit. Taking a base on a walk is one way. Name the other six.

Hit by pitch, catcher's interference, dropped third strike, error, fielder's choice, balk.

Batters do not get first base on a balk, just runners currently on base advance 1 base.

Rule 8.01(d) of the official MLB rules provides that: "If the pitcher makes an illegal pitch with the bases unoccupied, it shall be called a ball..." Therefore, if a pitcher balks with the batter having a count of 3 ballz, he is awarded first base on the balk. P.S. This is a sports forum. How can the plural of ball be offensive?

That still constitutes a walk. There is still another way for a player to get on first without getting a hit.

There's one "sport" in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends. What is it?

RE: Jokes

On a much lighter side of the jokes. I appreciate this as a dad.

"How do you spell toad?"

One of my first grade students asked. "We just read a story about a toad," I said, then helped him spell it out: "T-O-A-D."

Satisfied, he finished writing the story he'd begun, then read it aloud" "I toad my mama I wanted a dog for my birthday." Heh. I wonder what GT, Miami, and UNC want?
