When I was a kid, I'd occasionally play baseball with my fellow youths. I was poor at it, of course. Unless it involves repeatedly hitting buttons, I'm not great with feats of physical skill to this day. Anyway, the variation we played had five methods by which I player hitting or on base could be termed out.
I'm amazed I lived past 10.
- Striking out.
- A hit being caught.
- Being thrown out.
- Being tagged out.
- Being hit by the ball after the defensive player threw it at you. If they hit you in the head, that was end of inning, no matter what.
