5 ways to reach 1st base

On the Car Talk radio show a few weeks ago, the trivia question was "What are the 5 ways a person can reach first base without hitting the ball?"

I'm not above taking ideas for blog posts from where ever I can find them. My first thought was to illustrate the 5 ways with baseball cards but after looking at over 500 cards, I couldn't a single card which illustrated any of them. So I turned to Google Image.
