Baseball riddle - Erictelevision - 04-08-2026 10:51 PM
The number 2 hitter comes to bat. The bases are empty with 0 outs. How is this possible?
RE: Baseball riddle - stever20 - 04-08-2026 10:53 PM
real easy- #1 hitter hit a homer or a little league homer.
Or the first 10 guys all reached base, with the #1 hitter hitting a homer 2nd time around to clear the bases.
Or if the leadoff guy got out to end prior inning and #2 hitter is leading off the next inning!

Stever: correct with your 1st guess. I tried to think of a weird, esoteric reason, but Occam’s Razor prevailed.

Ok but is it possible in the first inning and the score is 0-0 ?

Goofus: definitely. I never mentioned the score in the riddle.

Charger: nope, a lead off HR is what I was thinking.
