| question (major league baseball)
If a batter hits a legitimate inside the park homerun does it count on his career stats as a homerun or do you actually have to hit it out of the park for it to count as a homerun? |

However, a true inside the park HR without errors is a HR in the stats. Campana Inside the Parker! - YouTube | |

| I saw a play once where the pitch went behind the batter and struck the bat. Everyone just looked at the ball and the umpire never said a word. Runner finally took off for first and 2 overthrows later scored. A HR without a swing!

| I don't think Bill would do something as egregious as being insincere in a Billy Costigan thread. | |

Does the smart ass comment do something for you? As if I was supposed to read into your "typed" response as a joke. Silly me for not seeing it. | |
