  • If first base is open and the catcher misses strike 3...
  • The batter is safe if he can run to first...
  • ...before the catcher gets the ball to the first baseman!
  • The alert batter sometimes gets there on time!
  • But sometimes he doesn't notice what happened!
  • He's making faces and muttering as he returns to the bench!

    • Whenever a pitcher strikes out four men in an inning

  • It's because one of those strikeout victims made it to first on a dropped third strike!
