    I think I was close with what I had guessed. I just got screwed up with the SS being the 6. I think I got the pitcher and catcher as 1 and 2 wrong too. I knew it had to be something simple though. Thanks for the explanation.

    I suppose I should add why they bother with the numbers: it's used in official scoring. So, on the scoresheet an "E5" is an error to the third baseman. An "F8" is a fly out to the centerfielder. A lot of times you'll hear the announcers say, "Well, they recorded it as an E6."

    Now you know.

    Yeah, but seriously how many people actually "score" baseball games.

    From team or league officials. The average fan at the ball game (or message board as it were) isn't going to need to know this stuff.

    While I would have had no problem answering the baseball questions, I am about to display my ignorance of basketball. To wit - if a player misses a shot, but is fouled while shooting, is the missed shot still recorded as a FG attempt?

    Why do the best women fall for the worst guys?

    Usually guys put up a front and when it's too late the women and everybody else finds out they're bad. The women use all sorts of excuse NOT to leave them.

    Why do mosquitos have to drink blood instead of nectar?

    They eat both, actually.

    Why do objects with mass emit gravitational fields?

    There is really no proof that mass generates gravity.


    Why is is a woman's cl!toris outside the vagina instead of inside?

    It's on the outside because that object is sort of like a penis. In males that part becomes the penis, in females it becomes that object.

    Should I fear death?

    I wouldn't fear anything that's inevitable.

    If there are a bazillian people in this world who live in tribes, shacks, or huts who spend 99.9% percent of their time outdoors in the sunlight, why do I need to wear sunblock to prevent skin cancer?

    A lot of those people live in rainforest or jungles which is very shaded, others who live in direct sunlight have sort of adapted to the environment.
