The "What are 7 ways to get to 1st without getting a hit?"
question is great fun at parties, though in my experience
it often leads to an argument about whether catcher interference
is really distinct from fielder's obstruction.  Imagine my
amusement when a friend came up with an entirely new way, which
he claims is legal:  Steal 1st from 2nd.  To my immediate query,
"Why would anyone do that?", he said, "To run up his statistics.
Maybe the guy has a bonus riding on the number of stolen bases.
He'll certainly have the element of surprise on his side."
Well, *can* you steal 1st from 2nd?
