As a child, I loved learning how to keep score at baseball games, and my father loved explaining the intricacies of baseball scoring. One of my favorite things to score was the “sacrifice fly,” in which a batter hits a long fly ball knowing that it would be caught, but allowing the runner on third base to tag up and score. It is officially scored as a run batted in without a plate appearance, so as not to penalize the hitter for doing what was necessary to score a run for the team.-Michael Tino (CLF)
When have you made a sacrifice that moved your “team” forward?
