I haven’t read any previous replies.
OK, now I will read the rest and see how silly I look.
Eohippus I re-read the question about baseball and noticed the wording. You are right, I just couldn’t post it right then 'cause the boss walked into my office! Indeed, this one has been answered. In fact, all have been answered correctly except #3 (part, by scratch1300) and #11.
Hey, Unc, since when did they start keeping score in la Corrida? If so, I guess it would be quite Boulean (matador:1, Bull:0) 
Number 12 is so wierd, I won’t really count it. I mean, gosh, we could count “skis”, “snowshoes”, etc.
I woulda thunk the boxing judges score was pretty much talked about after every round, and leaders were known, but maybe those are not official numbers. In order to avoid (or better yet, introduce) controversy, we must thereby omit all mano a mano (or mano a hoof) sports without “periods”? Jousting? Arm Wrestling? Chess? (If you don’t think these are sports you don’twatch enough espn2)
For the summary benefit of all, spritle, can you sum up the status of all the answers?
NB: Since some of the questions are “can you name seven” type of things, I counted 7 correct responses across all posts. Perhaps somebody gave all correct in one post, perhaps not; I didn’t really check.
Or did you want the correct answers for those answered correctly?
I know they’ve all been answered; I just wanted to add “spats” to the list of possible answers for #12, just 'cause they’re cool.
sorry, Unc, that ain’t it.
come on back, jr8!!
Though pickled watermelon rinds can be found in my local grocery store.

Thank you all for playing our game. We have some lovely parting gifts for you.
UncleBill gets braggin’ rights!!
I buy processed lettuce all the time. It’s precut and comes with a little deal of croutons and salad dressing.
And I forgot the trolleys go sideways, not backwards.
Aren’t glaciers moving backwards too? I concider those landmarks too since they have names and even have their own national park.
I’m also gonna have to complain about boxing, if someone is kicking the other guys ass you know. The same could also be said about gymnastics and diving as well since you don’t know who’s winning/won until the last person finishes.
Glaciers mostly move forward, I believe.

spritle, a fielder’s choice would mean the batter had hit the ball, no?
And I just want to let you all know I did not look at anyone else’s alswers.
Punha, while it is true that in a fielder’s choice play the batter has hit the ball, the question states that the batter does not get a hit. In FC, the batter is not scored with a hit.
Well, all I have to say is:
Neener, neener, neener.
don Jaime- the lettuce is cut and washed, not processed. Adding croutons and dressing packets make it freshcut and washed lettuce in a bag with croutons and dressing. I’m in da bidness. Processing is taking it outside a temperature range or adding ingredients or chemicals to extend shelflife or alter taste or texture.
iampunha- you kicked ass. I retract all three neeners sent your direction.
Hmm . . . realizing that I read the baseball question wrong, it is also possible to get on with a fielding error, in case nobody else said it. And under that rule you have not only things like ground balls but foul balls handled in foul territory that land in fair territory, which are scored as errors most of the time.
Not that that’s two cases, just two instances, one of which is not so well-known.
