Name six ways a player can get on first base without hitting the ball.


I used to have season tickets next to a guy who asked me and my friend this puzzler a couple times a year.

Base on balls
Hit by pitch
Catcher's interference
Uncaught third strike
Pinch runner


That's five, and I believe that is the correct answer. The possible sixth would be a balk with no men on base and three balls, but upon reading up further at MLB.com that would be scored a walk. So there really was a sixth way of getting there, but technically, on the score sheet, there is not.

The Tigers hold the record for most seasons played together by nine teammates. Name the nine Tigers who were on the roster together for 10 seasons.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now, what I'm with isn't 'it,' and what's 'it' seems weird and scary.

Well done. Nine for nine. Somehow I pictured someone more contemporary to the '68 team **cough, Gully** acing this one.

Holy Christ....other than picking the '68 team because I just happened to know that a lot of the players from that team had long careers with the Tigers and that it was right before the Curt Flood case, that was a total stab in the dark
