There are many.
1) An infield flyout could be to an outfielder.
2) If a player throws his glove/hat or any other equipment at a batted ball and hits it, it's a triple for the hitter unless the ball would have been a homerun in which case the batter is awarded a homerun.
3) A fielding team can officially get more than three outs in an inning.
Suppose the bases are loaded with one out. The batter hits a sacrifice fly. However, after the runner from third has scored the runner from second is thrown out trying to advance to third. The run counts and the double play counts and the inning is over. Or, is it? Suppose the third baseman also noticed that the runner from third left early. If the defending team makes a proper appeal before the infielders have all left the field, the runner at third would be called out and the run taken off the board. That gives you four outs in the inning.

PRE-1930'S if a ball bounced into the stands it was considered a HR, not a ground rule double as it is today. Also regardless if on a bounce or on the fly the ball had to enter the "stands" to be considered a HR. If it went into a void space (ie an area w/o fans, the walk area between the fence and the stands, or bullpen or whatever other than 'stands' ) it was considered a double.
If a ball hit the foul pole and fell on the field it was a live ball 'in-play', if it fell foul, it was a foul ball.
See all the rules the Babe had to deal with??

A pitcher can win a baseball game WITHOUT throwing a single pitch!
Here's how. The game with the Yankees is tied 0 to 0 in the top of the 9th with 2 outs and AROD is the runner on 1st. Francona takes Schilling out and puts in Papelbon. Papelbon picks AROD off 1st ending the inning. In the bottom of the 9th Ortiz hits a walk-off home run off Rivera. Papelbon gets the win WITHOUT THROWING A SINGLE PITCH!

If a batter backs out of the box and the home plate umpire does not call time, which causes the pitcher to stop his delivery to home plate, this is NOT a balk. (Say if there was a runner on 2nd and the pitcher turned his head to throw home as he was starting his delivery). Rule 6.02 states that both the batter and pitcher have done "something wrong" and there is no penalty, everyone resets and play resumes.

Before the 1940's if a player was up with runners on base in the bottom of the ninth and hit a walk-off HR, it was only considered a HR if he was the winning run, other than that it was only a single, double, or triple depending on how far he had to go to advance the winning run. More crap the Babe had to deal with.

The catcher may not retrieve a live ball by using his mask.
This happened in a game in the 1980's. Mike Heath was catching for either Detroit or Oakland at the time. He blocked a pitch and kept it in the dirt in front of him. He reached for the ball and pulled it in with his mask. Gene Mauch, the Angels' manager, came out to make the umpires aware. The runners advanced one base.

Did you know that a dead man once scored thwe winning run in a game?
Early 1900' like 1905 -06, summer heat wave, runner collapsed and actually died ( that was not known at that moment) rounding third base, the runner who was at second, rounded third and picked him up, had the collapsed guy touch the plate first, then touched the plate himself.
The collapsed guy was pronounced dead after his run was counted, it turned out to be the winning run of the game.

Not really. But I have a story.
I taught my wife how to score games.
One night I had to be away from her during the top of the first, and the leadoff man reached on catcher's interference and then went to second on a balk.
I got back to my seat and she asked with a crazed look, "WHY THE HELL IS HE ON SECOND BASE?"
I had heard the radio broadcast and explained through my laughter for a good 30 seconds.

That's a hard question to answer, since I don't know what facts or rules you do know about the game...

If you know that Yadier Molina is a catcher for the cardinals this will work out. alll of Yadier's brothers are catchers in the major leagues.
