So are you abolsutely sure a batter is not charged with an out if he hits into a fielder's choice? :mad: :rolleyes: :cool: :p ;) :D :o :( :) :confused:

Batters don't get "charged with" outs. Which is what the confusion is related to in this entire WOBW thread.

You've read (above) what constitutes an AB. Any other method of coming up with them is a waste of time, and I fail to understand the purpose of such an exercise.
