At the start of the day all the players on the visiting team batting averages of .000 and after the game their averages were the same .000.

It was against the Chicago White Sox in 1940.

My favorites are:

How many outs are there in an inning? (More of a trick question)

and

In one inning, what are most hits a team can have without scoring a run?

Three singles (3 hits). Then, a batted ball hits a runner. Runner who got hit is out, runners return to their base or move up if forced and the batter gets credited with a hit. Thus, this can happen 3 times for 3 outs. Therefore, 6 hits.

OK:

Hitter #1 hits a "tweener" and attempts to make an "inside the park home run" . . . he is thrown out at the plate . . . Hit "#1" . . .

Hitter #2 hits a "tweener" and attempts to make an "inside the park home run" . . . he is thrown out at the plate . . . Hit "#2" . . . TWO OUTS!

Hitter #3 hits an infield hit . . . Hit #3 . . .

Hitter #4 hits an infield hit . . . Hit #4 . . . runners now on first and second . . .

Hitter #5 hits an infield hit . . . Hit #5 . . . runners now at first, second, and third.

Hitter #6 hits a ball that strikes R2 betwix second and third base . . . and this, by rule, is called a "hit" . . . Hit #6.

Seems pretty easy too me.

Why not make it easier? Three infield singles followed by three ground balls betwix second and third base that strike R2. You obviously know section 10 exists.
