	Base on balls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball statistics, a base on balls (BB), also called a walk, is credited to a batter and against a pitcher when a batter receives four pitches that the umpire calls balls.
		A hit by pitch is not considered a walk, though the consequences are often the same for both.
		On July 4, 2004, Barry Bonds drew his 2,191st base on balls to pass the career record of Rickey Henderson, who is no longer active in the major leagues.

	Baseball
		In addition to swinging at the ball, a batter who wishes to put the ball in play may hold his bat over home plate and attempt to tap a pitch very lightly; this is called a bunt.
		Once a batter gets a hit, a base on balls, or otherwise reaches base, he is said to be "on" that base until he attempts to advance to the next base, he is put out, or the half-inning ends.
		When a ball is hit in the air, a fly ball, and caught by the defending team, runners must return and touch the base they occupied at the time of the pitch—called tagging up—after the ball is caught.

	Intentional base on balls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The purpose of an intentional walk is to bypass a good hitter in order to face a batter that the defensive team feels they have a better chance at getting out, or to set up a double play ball by putting a runner on first base.
		The danger of issuing an intentional walk is that an extra batter is now on base for the following hitter.
		In many cases, there is an additional danger that the batter who the opposing team chooses to face will feel slighted and work harder to get a hit.
