Can you name the rulings for a batter to reach first base?

Pretty cool challenge but obviously easy if you're going to just jump over to Google (or Yahoo!) and find the quick answer. See if you can name the seven ways a batter can reach first base in baseball... with there being at least one additional way you can reach first base but not as the batter ;)

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Good luck!!

For the record, I was only able to name six of them myself before having to jump over to Google for a little assistance.

Time for a heads up... Pinch runner is NOT one of the seven but is more or less a bonus answer because it's a way to get to first base but not as the batter

How about four (4) balks with the bases empty?


Edit...which would be a base on balls...which has already been covered.

D'oh!
