(i.e. reach first base safely) The answers are: 1. walk 2. error 3. fielder's choice 4. dropped 3rd strike 5. hit by pitch 6. catcher interference 7. obstruction by fielder 11 people responded to the quiz. 3 people got all 7 answers correctly.

Now that the answers have been revealed (I also had the correct answers, but responded on the net instead of mail), the next question is: Which of those ways count as a time at bat? If you wish to respond, I will keep a tally and post results. Russ Pierce Western Electic Denver drufl!rkp
