Baseball Trivia (General) - Ways to Reach First w/o a Hit

Expert: Tom Schott - 7/23/2009

Question
How many ways are there to reach first base without the benefit of a hit and what are they?

Answer
Paul,

The question has been answered by an expert here before. See:

http://en.allexperts.com/q/Sports-Trivia-General-1403/First-Base.htm

The number given here is seven ways. To them I would add an eighth: being a pinch runner. The question says nothing about being the hitter.
