I heard this on the radio this AM.  What are the seven ways for
a batter to get on base without getting a hit?  There are seven
and only seven ways to accomplish this!!

The seven ways to get on base are:

1. base hit
2. error
3. base on balls
4. catcher's interference
5. fielder's choice/force play
6. dropped third strike
7. hit by pitch
