Re: Baseball trivia
Chicago White Sox, April 16, 1940, when Bob Feller ho-hit them on opening day. I knew it was Feller and it was his opening day no-hitter, but I had to look up the team and date.

Re: Baseball trivia
Bubba is right, an opening day no hitter is the only way this is possible. Everyone starts and ends the day with a 0.00 batting average.
Bubba, since you got the right answer will you ask a trivia question?

Re: Baseball trivia
Passed ball for strike 3 with 2 outs already recorded in the inning, and the batter who strikes out for out # 3 reaches 1st on the passed ball.f.a.s.t. wrote:Explain how a team can record four outs in one inning?
Then the next batter up gets out. 4 outs in one inning.
The situation arises because that 3rd out (the passed ball/reach 1st base) is recorded as a strikeout but not an out.
That's how you get 4 outs in an inning (or 1/2 inning).
Edit: Your question should actually read "1/2 inning", not "inning".
Edit (2): This allows a pitcher to strikeout 4 batters in the same inning. On the passed ball, the strikeout is recorded as a strike out even though the out is not recorded as an out.

The same way my child achieved a grand slam on a strikeout.

Touché
Anyone see the footage of Sandoval busting his belt on a swing last week.
I believe that would be a trivia first

Re: Baseball trivia
Another way is two outs with a runner on 2nd base. Batter gets a base hit to the outfield and the runner on 2nd base scores. The batter tries to stretch a double into a triple and is thrown out at third base for the third out. Both the third baseman and the third base umpire were doing their jobs and saw that the runner on second base did not touch third base on his way to score at home plate. The third baseman calls for the ball and steps on third and the umpire calls the base runner that was on second base out, on appeal. The run does not count. The official scorer though only records three outs, that the third out was a fielders choice out at third, no base hit is awarded to the batter. This can happen on two out fly balls too if the runner doesn't tag up properly costing a team runs, even if the bases are loaded you get no runs-even if it was the runner on first that left early.
Now with replay it gets even more complicated. Say there are two outs and a runner on first. The batter grounds to short and there's a close call at first base but the ump calls the batter out at first for the third out. The runner that was on first rounds second and third and touches the plate. The manager appeals to instant replay and the umpire reverses the call, that the batter was safe at first. Does the run count since the batter is now safe at first?

You got the answer right. The other situations are a fourth out by appeal.junior wrote:But neither way are 4 outs recorded in the 1/2 inning.
