	Wild pitch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball, a wild pitch (WP) is charged to a pitcher when a pitch is too high, too low, or too wide of home plate for the catcher to field capably, thereby allowing one or more runners to advance or to score.
		As with many baseball statistics, whether a pitch that gets away from a catcher is a passed ball or wild pitch is at the discretion of the official scorer.
		A wild pitch is not scored as an error.

	Passed ball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball, a catcher is charged with a passed ball when he fails to hold or control a legally pitched ball which should have been held or controlled with ordinary effort, thereby permitting a runner or runners to advance or score.
		A closely related statistic is the wild pitch.
		A run that scores because of a passed ball is not scored as an earned run.

	Bookreporter.com - WILD PITCH by Mike Lupica
		Mike Lupica, one of the nation's preeminent sports columnists, takes a turn at his second novel with WILD PITCH, the story of 40-something Charlie Stoddard, a pitcher who in his youth was a sure bet to make the Hall of Fame.
		WILD PITCH falls back on numerous sports cliches and ethnic stereotypes: the athletes are, for the most part, portrayed as alcoholic sex addicts.
		WILD PITCH may be nothing startling and different in the world of sports fiction, but that doesn't make it bad.

		The pitch he'd been practicing for days bounded on its way to home plate where 23-year-old Massachusetts National Guardsman Will Pumyea of Woburn was there to catch the pitch.
		But surprisingly there was a comparable mix of cheers and jeers--a sharp contrast to the first pitch thrown by President Bush at Yankee Stadium shortly after 9/11, a perfect strike, greeted by deafening cheering from the fans in a New York, a state that is primarily Democrat.
		After the first wild pitch, rather than being a man of the people and sitting in the stands (an image that Kerry has repeatedly failed to project), Kerry got to enjoy the battle of the longtime sports rivals from the Owners' Box.
