Got 8 out of 10, number 1 and 6. I went against my gut in number 1.

Wow. That's the best score I've seen someone get.

Really surprised me on these three:

The balk, the catcher's interference, Pujols getting hit by a batted ball

Those were the ones I was most sure I got right.

I got the balk, catcher's interference and the batting out of order call.

Got 6 out of 10. The 4 I missed 70% of people got them wrong. I was waiting for a Sam Holbrook infield fly one. "The infielder sprints 40 feet into the outfield and a makes it to the likely landing spot 2 seconds before the ball lands then darts out of the way a split second before it hits the ground. If your the ump you call infield fly A) True B) False C) Depends how much money you bet on the game".

If you got the balk you should get the catchers interference one right since they have the same rule, same thing if you got one wrong.

I fully gotta admit, I'm shocked as many people got the jumping into the stands thing wrong. But I guess that means the extra base for leaving the field rule isn't as commonly known as I thought (why C, 1B and 3B don't want to go over the rail while making a catch aside from pain)

I'm also semi shocked so many people (only 30% got it right) didn't get number 9. You're allowed a visit to the mound and the first one was avisit to the pitcher who was being pulled not the new one. Now if he went back out there then he would have to pull the kid.

I got the guy going out of play question right. So that means I got one of the other ones wrong. Now that I think of it I got the balk one wrong. The only reason I got the catcher's interference call right was because it happened to the Braves this year. Got the batting out of order one wrong.

Got the mound visit question wrong because I didn't reset my mind to think that it was a new pitcher and therefore the manager was free to make a mound visit without having to change pitchers.

Got the Josh Willingham question wrong because I didn't factor in that there were 2 outs so a force out would have ended the inning allowing no runs to score.

So basically just not fully understanding and comprehending the questions cost me to get 2 of them wrong.

Also I found the name part to be a distraction probably was intentional
