[net.sport.baseball] Ways to reach first base

sab@houti.UUCP (06/14/83)

I can only think of 6 ways:

1. hit
2. error
3. base on balls
4. hit by pitched ball
5. catcher's interference
6. fielder's choice

Two other ways I can think of also fit into a
category above.

7. passed ball on strikeout - this is recorded
   as getting on base on an error.
8. balk with 3 balls and no runners on base -
   also an error AND a base on balls.

Am I missing something obvious?
