Here are the definitive answers.  The question (again) was
What are the 7 ways to get on base w/o a hit? (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.  Congratulations to:

7 respondents got 6 of the answers and 1 person got only 5.

Another (questionable?) answer was pinch runner.

Thanks to all who participated!

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.
