re: #10 - how about when there is a tie during a "timed" game - don't they put a guy on 1st and 2nd with 1 out? I might be wrong but I think that happened to us this year

no you are thinking of when we were in the Flatonia Tournament, in a tournament if you go to extra innings, the last batter from your team who got out starts on 2nd base with 1 out and you play this way until you have a winner.

some of these ways mean the same thing, ex. fielders choice and force out at another base, and preceding runner put out allows batter to reach first is all the same thing, and a walk and intentional walk is still scored as BB(base on balls), a sac fly dropped would be an error, so would a passed ball 3rd strike( it would be scored K E2, strikeout with an error on the catcher.)

On No. 4 how about softball. That would invalidate baseball because the question said only sport. :)

I have to ask, is it not also true that the Atlantic ocean grows wider by a matter of inches each year? And if this is fact, then wouldn't it also be true that the Statue of Liberty is also moving backwards? She does face the Atlantic Ocean doesn't she?
