Yes, runners have been hit by thrown balls during baseball games. This can happen when a fielder throws the ball to a base in an attempt to tag out the runner, but accidentally hits the runner instead.
No, a wide receiver cannot pass the ball during a football game. They are typically responsible for catching passes thrown by the quarterback.
This is nothing, just part of the game. Play continues. Of course, it shouldn't happen, and the umpire can expect an earful from the offensive team's manager.
There is no set time a player must hold on to a ball after catching either a batted or a thrown ball - the rule only states that he must maintain "control" of the ball. If the umpire rules that a fielder has control of the ball and then tagged a runner that was off-base, that runner is instantly 'Out' and the fielder need not maintain control of the ball after that. He can immediately throw the ball elsewhere, or even drop it, and the runner would still be out.
The ball is dead and the runner is out.
The firstbaseman uses the ball to warm up the infielders during the next inning.
An air ball is, in the game of basketball, a thrown ball which misses the target and fails to touch the net or hoop, or, by extension, any ball which widely misses its target when thrown.
Umm. What?
No, a runner cannot steal on a foul tip during a baseball game.
if the fielder is a) in the baseline, and b) doesn't have the ball, then no. If the runner goes out of the baseline to strike the fielder, he is out for leaving the baseline. If the fielder has the ball, and as a result of the collision he tags the runner, then runner is out. If the fielder has the ball and is trying to tag the runner, but the collision knocks the ball loose, then the runner is out if the umpire felt the contact was intentional, but it is a loose/live ball if the contact was accidental or otherwise part of the game.
NO ... This has happened in a Texas rangers game the catcher picked the ball up with his mask and the ump told the runner to take an extra base ... Here is the rule .... Rule 7.05 ..."Each runner, including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out,advance(d) Two bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a thrown ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper position in his person
The ball isn't thrown at the start of a football game. The game begins with a kick off. After the kick off the only time a ball can be thrown by an out field player is if it goes off at the sideline and a team is awarded a throw-in.
