In baseball, what is a "4, 1, 3, double play...?

They're the numbers of the players.\n\n   1. Pitcher P (infield)\n   2. Catcher C (infield)\n   3. 1st Baseman 1B (infield)\n   4. 2nd Baseman 2B (infield)\n   5. 3rd Baseman 3B (infield)\n   6. Shortstop SS (infield)\n   7. Left Fielder LF (outfield)\n   8. Center Fielder CF (outfield)\n   9. Right Fielder RF (outfield)\n\nSo a 4 1 3 double play would mean that the 2nd baseman threw the ball to the pitcher who threw it to the 1st baseman.

It means "ground into double play" - number of ground balls hit that became double plays.

Ok, there are two types of pitches. Ones that the batter can hit are "strikes," and the ones that he can't hit (in the umpire's opinion) are called "balls." In order to be a strike, the ball needs to cross home plate between the batter's knees and shoulders, roughly. If it is too high or too low, it's a ball. If it's too far away from the batter or too close to him, it's a ball. But if the batter swings at the pitch and misses it, the umpire will call a strike regardless of where the pitch was.\n\nIf you get three strikes, you are out. If you get four balls, you get to go to first base. The umpire will say "Ball four, batter take your base."

You take a pitcher's earned run, you divide it by the number of innigs he played and you multply it by 9 (a complete game).\n\nThe smaller the ERA is, the better the pitcher is.

Yes, it has been done by 12 players.  Most recently by Bill Mueller in 2003 for the Boston Red Sox.  He hit one grand slam from each side of the plate in the same game.

There are several different ways to get to the different bases, but these are the basic names:\n\ngetting to first base- single. If you hit the ball and it is not caught and you get to first base only, it is a single.\n\ngetting to second base- double. If you hit the ball and it is not caught and you go straight to second base, it is a double.\n\ngetting to third base- triple.  If you hit the ball and it is not caught and you go straight to third base, it is a triple.\n\nAside from those three terms, there are other different ways to get to the bases.  There are other things, such as errors and feilders choices and stolen bases.\n\nError- When a fielder drops the ball, misses a throw, etc, it is said that the batter "reached on an error".\n\nFeilder's Choice- If there is a runner on base and a feilder chooses to get the runner out instead of the batter, the batter reaches on a feilders choice.\n\nBase on balls or walk- When a batter is thrown four balls (pitches out of the strike zone) the batter gets to go to first base.\n\nOnce a runner gets on base, they can steal a base, which means that between the time which the pitcher throws the ball and when it is hit, a batter advances bases.\n\nHome Run- Yes, you can get a home run from hitting the ball out of the park, and also when you hit it in the park and run all the bases.  The term for when a ball stays in the park but is still a home run is "an in the park home run".\n\nThat should do it!

it would take amazingly long time to type up how to play baseball. ill give a short explanation. there is 4 bases in a diamond shape, then an outfield. a pitcher throws the ball trying to get it past the batter and over the home plate (a base) for a strike. 3 strikes and your out. \nthere are 3 outs in one inning. you play nine innings. if you hit the ball, you run up the dirt ob the right to first base. if the ball is cought while the first baseman touches the bag, your out. if you see that you could maybe get to 2nd base, turn and run there. you score by going all the way around the bases and touching home plate. oh, and if you hit a ball over the fence in between the to polls in left and right field, its a home run

was it the inning where (5 people) hall, miller, clark, hardy, and fielder all hit a homerun in the same inning. or was it 4 straight one run wins 3 of them a 9th inning walk off rbi hall, miller, jenkins.

OK single, single, single, double play, single, single; which = 5 hits and 2 outs. Then the next batter hits the ball which hits one of the base runners. A runner is out if hit by a batted ball in fair territory but the batter gets credit for a hit.

nbabest9 confuses baseball with basketball.  6 - 3 mean the shortstop threw to the first baseman for the putout.  The fielders are numbered to enable shorthand scoring thus:  Pitcher 1, catcher 2, first baseman 3, second baseman 4, third baseman 5, shortstop 6, left fielder 7, center fielder 8, right fielder 9.  \n\nFor example a fly out to right field is scored "F9."  Or "F-9."  Another example:  a double play on a grounder to second baseman who throws to shortstop, who then throws to first is simply scored "4-6-3."

Down to the third baseman.  Usually goes 3rd to short to 2nd and back to third.  Every once in a while some teams throw to 1st, but it's pretty rare.  Usually third.

It is the same as in baseball i think.   You take the total of bases from your hits.  1 for a single 2 for a double 3 for a triple and 4 for a homerun and divide it by the number of at bats.

1)single\n2)double\n3)triple\n4)HR\n5)error\n6)wild pitch\n7)passed ball\n8)steal home\n9)balk\n\nkinda cheap to count the 4 different types of hits but I couldn't think of any other way to get 9. \n Squeeze play wouldn't work because with 2 outs you'd only need to get the out at first and inning is over and if he makes it to first then it's a single so it's no different.\n Sac Fly?  there are 2 outs though someone else already pointed that out.\n \nWhat about catcher's interference?  Does the man on third get a base or do you have to be forced to move to get to on that type of play?\n\nhmmm...that's all I can think of right now.

3 is the most by both teams.  It's happened twice, once in each league.\n\nAL: Baltimore (2) vs. Texas (1) on August 6, 1986 in Baltimore\n\nOrioles hit 2 grand slams (one by Larry Sheets and one by Jim Dwyer, both in the 4th inning) and still lost 13-11 to Texas, who got one from Toby Harrah in the 2nd\n\nNL: Chicago (2) vs. Houston (1) on June 3, 1987 in Chicago (obviously the wind was blowing out at Wrigley)\n\nCubs won this game 22-7, with grand slams from Bryan Dayett in the first and Keith Moreland in the sixth (Moreland also had a solo shot in the first and had 7 RBI's total) vs. one for Houston from Billy Hatcher in the fifth

With 2 outs, yes.  With one or no outs, the batter can't run to first if first is occupied.  If he could, catchers would drop the ball on purpose and get an easy double play.

3 men on base and the batter manages to pass all 3 of them on the basepaths?  That wouldn't be a play, but you'd have your 3 outs without touching the ball.

It is when a fielder makes a bad play on a ball. For example say there is a ground ball and the fielder lets it go through his/her legs it would be an error. Or even if it is a routine play and he doesnt get anybody out it is an error. If you hear the annoucer say that is an E5 it would be an error on the thrid baseman. 1-Pitcher 2-catcher 3-first baseman 4-second baseman 5-third baseman 6-Shortstop 7-Left Fielder 8-Center fielder 9-Right Fielder Those are the position numbers for players
