If a fielder's choice isn't "reaching base," then how do you explain the guy standing on first base? I'm not trying to be a wise apple, but if it isn't "reaching base," what is it? You could just as easily make the argument that, for example, acquiring 1B because of umpire's interference is not "reaching base" because the ball was declared dead before the BR reached the bag.
I guess I interpreted the question as "What are the 9(+) ways a batter can legally end up at 1B/2B/3B/home?" Comments? Any input from Coach&Blue?
