Yep. 25 is right for Q1. Raystorm has the right idea for Question 2 (that's actually what me think of that one).
A sacrifice isn't a sacrifice if the person gets on base, via error or FC or any other means.
Your question sucks and the answer is, despite whatever you say, 2.
No, that's 2 sac flies and a reached on error. The sac flies don't count negatively towards the BA while the error does.Quote:

That's not possible. The very definition of a sacrifice involves the runner being called out. If it was marked as a sacrifice, the scorekeeper needs to be fired for not knowing what the fuck he's doing.Quote:

(of a batter) to be put out while the lead runner advances a base, usually as the result of a bunt or a fly ball to the outfield.
SYNONYMS: give himself up
3. sacrifice (vt)
(of a batter) to advance a runner in the course of making an out. "He sacrificed the runner to second base."
Your wrong view of a sacrifice allows for infinite, though.
OK, so it's you versus MLB
MLB will win
Actually it's me/MLB vs. people who don't know any better, apparently. (Yanks/Mets scorekeeper included)Quote:

Besides, MLB wanted to put Spiderman webs on the bases. MLB is a mockery of itself.
Well maybe you would like to take this up with the record books. The record has been 3 for decades.
Shit's wrong. You can attempt to sacrifice yourself, but if the defense fucks up, you reached on an error.Quote:

Well your definition is crap that MLB doesn't honor
