Describe a player and guess who it is thread

[Omar 382]

Northeast do you have a guess for my player?

If the bases are empty, the batter is awarded 1st base.


No. If the bases are empty, the batter is awarded 1st base.

Only if it is ball 4.

Only if it is ball 4.

I think you may be right. Is it a ball on any pitch?

You give clues in the beginning that are revealing. Hold back a little and then add a clue along the way.

Well I guess everybody is digging snow. The board is silent. Since nobody has given the last two ways a batter
can get on base without a hit. Here they are: Catcher misses strike three and runner beats it out to first. The final way: a batted ball hits a baserunner or an umpire. If it hits a runner then the runner is called out.

I actually already covered one of those two: "strikeout catcher loses the ball." Yeah, I assumed the runner would make it to first but didn't mention it. Just want to ensure I got credit when rewards are given out.

Tony Lazzerie. But maybe he was Italian.

I know Hank Greenberg was Jewish--but was he also from Poland?

 

[Omar 382]

Wrong and wrong

Ralph Kiner was a great power hitter for the time he played
