I'm always surprised at how few people know the correct answer to this question. The question was originally posed as a SCORING question. That is, in how many ways can the reach of first base be SCORED. Let's ignore the "without hitting the ball" part - its usually asked as "without getting a base hit". They are:

1. Base Hit

2. Base on Balls

3. Intentional Base on Balls

4. Hit by Pitch

5. Error

6. Fielder's Choice

7. Passed Ball

8. Wild Pitch

Every other scenario you can think of is scored under one of these categories.

** As previously noted, before deletion, there are several scenarios that can play themselves out to where a batter can reach 1st safely, however, the 8 ways listed above are the official scoring for any scenario, any other discussion should be done on the discussion page
