Ah, thanks Plaw. That's something I've never understood.

Actually, since you're answering - I do have a quick question about the "passed ball" rules...when a ball gets past the catcher, sometimes the batter will run to first. Isn't he out if it's a strike? I'm confused. I never understood that rule. I'm not sure if that's only on a 3-2 count or not, either.

Geoff - of course I'll keep it, I love compliments.
