If a batter hits a legitimate inside the park homerun does it count on his career stats as a homerun or do you actually have to hit it out of the park for it to count as a homerun?

Stick to the TMZ threads.

It counts. Hence why its called a HOME RUN

A home run on an error does not count as a HR. It does count as a hit if the batter reached base safely and then advance on an error.

However, a true inside the park HR without errors is a HR in the stats.

I saw a play once where the pitch went behind the batter and struck the bat. Everyone just looked at the ball and the umpire never said a word. Runner finally took off for first and 2 overthrows later scored. A HR without a swing!

This sounds like a myth.

I don't think Bill would do something as egregious as being insincere in a Billy Costigan thread.

That's not ruled a home run. It's ruled an error.

Not possible.

Yep, I already said that. Thanks though.

Not to mention that was a joke, coach.

Saw it after I already posted.

Does the smart ass comment do something for you? As if I was supposed to read into your "typed" response as a joke. Silly me for not seeing it.
