Can anyone name 8 ways a batter can reach base??? (Hint: Single, Double, Triple, Homerun are all consider 1 hit...)

Those of you counting each type of hit as a method for getting on base should pay a little more attention... The poster stated that all hits - singles, doubles, triples, home runs - should be counted under the "Hit" category... ie they all only count for one method of getting on base.
Also a Balk does not result in a player ending up at 1st. It can result in a player reaching 2nd, 3rd, or Home, but the batter remains unaffected.
The problem with this question is that there are actually a ton different technical ways a man can reach first base. I've heard as many as 23 different ways (but many of them were so similar it was stupid to differentiate between a few of them)...
8 different ways a BATTER can reach 1st...
1) Hit
2) BB
3) HBP
4) IBB (Intentional Walk scored differently than BB or HBP)
5) Error
6) Fielder's Choice
7) Dropped 3rd Strike (Wild Pitch or otherwise)
8) Catcher's Interference
One could make a case for Fielder's Obstruction. A "pinch runner" cannot count because it doesn't actually result in the Batter reaching 1st base. Most of the other technical methods are rather redundant.

1. Balk
2. Strike out (on 3rd strike) & catcher drops the ball
3. Hit by pitch Walk
4. Four ball Walk
5-8. Hit (Single, double, triple, HR)
??I don't understand: Is a "single,double, triple, HR" considered one "way" or can they be counted each as a way a batter can reach base?

I think you mean a player, not necessarily a batter? A player can reach 1st if he is put in as a pinch runner. Hit, HBP, fielder's choice, error, pass ball or wild pinch on 3rd strike, walk, ??
