Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Is it a home run when the ball bounces into the outfield, and then bounces over the fence?

Answer: No

If the ball goes right over the fence then it's a home run. If it bounces then you would only get 2 bases.

2. How many balls do you need to get a walk?

Answer: 4

4 balls = a walk and 3 strikes = a strike-out.

3. If the batter gets hit by a pitch, what happens?

Answer: They are awarded first base without the threat of being put-out

They get to automatically go to first base (unless the batter swings and it's a strike).

4. When the ball is fouled (and is not caught), do the runners get to return to their base freely?

Answer: yes

Nothing around the bases can happen on a foul.
If the ball is caught it is live; and the runners can be picked off.

5. When there is a walk and there is someone on first, what happens?

Answer: the runner on first goes to 2nd

It is the same when there is runners on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, everyone would advance a base and the person on 3rd would go home.

6. In a baseball season, you are only allowed to play 25 games altogether?

Answer: False

There is no limit on how many games you play in the season.

7. How many bases are there in a baseball infield?

Answer: 4

First base, second base, third base, and home base/home plate.
