	What about scoring on an error?

	Agree with CCCarnie, and it could even be where the batter scores, which is definitely not covered here. Would a forfeit count? The score is declared 9-0 for a 9 inning game, so aren't 9 runs scored? There is also a way for a runner to advance on his own which is not called a stolen base, but rather called defensive indifference where the defense doesn't try to make a play. It's extremely unlikely but it could occur at home.

	How about a dropped third strike where the runner on third scores when the catcher throws to first and puts the runner out? I don't even know how that's scored.

	I think ground out is really "fielders choice"

	@rk559, no, fielders choice is when the batter is safe because the defense tried to put out another runner. That could score a run if they make a play on a runner at 2nd or 3rd, but a run can also score when the defense puts out the batter at first. You could argue both ground out and fielders choice should be two different answers.

	I don't know much about baseball scoring, but is a passed ball not scored as an error? Also catcher's interference or fan interference should be acceptable answers

	Passed ball is not an error, neither is a wild pitch. It's odd. I think the most odd thing in baseball though is that if a player reaches base on an error BY THE PITCHER, and then scores, it's still an unearned run.

	bobc, on a strikeout, if a runner scores he would be ruled to have scored on a wild pitch, passed ball, or error depending on the play. Also, fielder's choice should be in there. rk559, a groundout where the out is at 1st is not a FC, it's just a normal putout. But if men are on 1st and 2nd, and the out is made at 2nd, and a guy from 3rd scores, then you score on a fielder's choice.

	I added fielder's choice

	drewSID:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 21:09 GMT		0 points
	While a fielder's choice can be a number of things, a runner scoring on a groundout is definitely a fielder's choice. So making "groundout" a separate answer from "fielder's choice" would be like making "single", "double" and "triple" three different answers.

	Jman14:	Nov 1st, 2009 at 05:00 GMT		1 point
	A groundout is not a fielder's choice. A fielder's choice is when the fielder throws out a runner other than the batter. Also, it is only a groundout when the batter gets thrown out.

	what about defensive indifference? i've never seen it happen, but a scorer might just score it like as indifference if the score is very lopsided and the pitcher is pitching from the windup.

	Good quiz, but I'm wondering if a double play would be acceptable. It's no RBI and it's more than a groundout. I disagree with the defensive indifference idea, it would never happen at home plate.
