In recording “bases on hits,” it is not fair to credit a batsman with a base on a hit when he sends a ball to a fielder in such a manner as to lead to the player on first base being put out at second, from being forced off, as in nine cases out of ten, had there been no player on the first base, the batsman himself would have been put out.
