A baseball riddle for football officials/coaches or whatever....

(1/4) > >>

Ralph Damren:
Lil' Junior is about to come to bat when the coach instructs him : "Junior, you & I both know you can't hit the ball, so don't swing. Take every pitch and maybe you'll walk." There are no inadvertent foul balls, illegal pitches or the such. What is the MAXIMUM number of pitches Lil' Junior can take before he either walks or strikes out ??? ::)??

maven:
Which rule set? OBR, NCAA, and NFHS are different. And what is an "inadvertent" foul ball?

If the rule differences don't matter, and everything goofy is supposed to be excluded by the question, then he'll either walk or strike out by the 6th pitch.

For the question to have any interest, you can't mean to exclude everything goofy.

Ralph Damren:
"Inadvertent" foul ball is meant to mean an inside pitch that hits the bat. Hint #1: 2 outs & Big ole' Bubba @ 1st. :)

younggun:
11

Ralph Damren:
You're very close, Younggun. Reread the question and focus on the word "before". :)
