Next time you're hangin' out with friends, try this baseball rules trivia question out on someone. It happened in a game today between the Rangers and Royals:
Has anyone ever hit a ball over the outfield fence in fair territory and only been awarded a single? If so, how so?
Some unthinking or unknowing person might blurt out something like..."yeah, at the end of a game with the winning run coming in from third". That would be wrong.
What is the correct answer? Take a guess before you look.
