What is the scoring decision if a batter hits a ground ball to shortstop with runners on second and third and the runner on second collides with the fielder as he is going to thisd base?

Its basically the same thing as being tagged. If he has the ball still in his possesion and the runner collides. Its an out. Same concept when a runner is running home and the catcher is attempting a tag out because they are off the plate. Collisions happen. But if the ball is in a glove... the collision is also considered an out.

Center fielder drops ball when he runs into wall is it and error?

Probably not...but, it really depends on the Official Scorers decision. Was the fielder bobbling the ball when he ran into the wall? Did crashing into the wall actually cause the fielder to drop the ball? Before a scorer can make such a call, he must witness the event...this is true on almost all scoring decisions.

Does fielders choice count as a sac?

Only if that out brings a run home. A sacrifice is when a batter gets out in order to bring a runner home to score. Let's make up some kind of example. Let's say runners are on 1st and 3rd with no outs and the pitch is chopped over the pitcher's head toward the shortstop. It's a pretty slow chop and the shortstop's only option is to try for the 6-4-3 double play and let the runner score from 3rd. Runner at second is out, but the relay to 1st isn't in time. That becomes a fielder's choice and a sacrifice. A fielder's choice is intended to get any other runner out other than getting the sure out at 1st. In many instances, it's a force out to another base, meaning the batter really didn't sacrifice anything, because he's on base, but the runner who would have been in scoring position is out.


Why is the shortstop position number 6 and third base position number 5 in baseball?

It comes from the fact that many years ago, the shortstop could be a fourth outfielder just as easily as being a fourth infielder. Basically it was a "rover" position, so when they put the numbers in for scoring, they simply went around the bases (3-1st, 4-2nd, 5-3rd) and then added the shortstop (6) before going to the outfielders (7-LF, 8-CF, 9-RF).
