They're the numbers of the players.\n\n   1. Pitcher P (infield)\n   2. Catcher C (infield)\n   3. 1st Baseman 1B (infield)\n   4. 2nd Baseman 2B (infield)\n   5. 3rd Baseman 3B (infield)\n   6. Shortstop SS (infield)\n   7. Left Fielder LF (outfield)\n   8. Center Fielder CF (outfield)\n   9. Right Fielder RF (outfield)\n\nSo a 4 1 3 double play would mean that the 2nd baseman threw the ball to the pitcher who threw it to the 1st baseman.

You take a pitcher's earned run, you divide it by the number of innigs he played and you multply it by 9 (a complete game).\n\nThe smaller the ERA is, the better the pitcher is.

In baseball statistics, slugging percentage (often abbreviated SLG) is a measure of the power of a hitter. It is calculated as total bases divided by at bats.\n\nSLG = (s + 2d + 3t + 4hr)/ AB or SLG = (h + d + 2t + 3hr) / AB, where AB is the number of at-bats for a given player, and s, h, d, t, hr, are the number of singles, hits, doubles, triples, and home runs, respectively

WALKS AND HITS PER INNINGS PITCHED. IT'S A GOOD MEASURE OF A PITCHER'S OVERALL PERFORMANCE.

In baseball statistics the term save (abbreviated SV, or sometimes, S) is used to indicate the successful maintenance of a lead by a relief pitcher, usually the closer, until the end of the game. A save is credited to a pitcher who fulfills the following three conditions:\n\nThe pitcher is the last pitcher in a game won by his team; \nThe pitcher is not the winning pitcher (for instance, if a starting pitcher throws a complete game win); \nThe pitcher fulfills at least one of the following three conditions: \nHe comes into the game with a lead of no more than three runs, and pitches at least one full inning. \nHe comes into the game with the potential tying run being either on base, at bat, or on deck. In other words, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batters he faces. \nHe pitches at least three "effective" innings (this is the only subjective criterion and is judged by the official scorer). \nIf the pitcher surrenders the lead at any point, he cannot get a save, even if his team comes back to win. No more than one save may be credited in each game.\n\nIf a relief pitcher satisfies all the criteria for a save, except he does not finish the game, he will often be credited with a hold.\n\nSave rules have changed over the years; the above rules are taken from the Official Baseball Rules 2004.\n\nThe save is defined in Section 10.20 of Major League Baseball Official Rules. The statistic was formally introduced in 1969, although research has identified saves earned prior to that point.\n\nA blown save (abbreviated BS) is charged to a pitcher who enters a game in a situation which permits him to earn a save (a 'save situation'), but who instead allows the tying run (and perhaps the go-ahead run) to score. As with any other similar situation, if the pitcher's team does not come back to win the game, said pitcher will be charged with both the loss and a 'blown save.' The blown save is not an officially recognized statistic, but many sources keep track of them. Blown saves have been tracked since 1988. Once a pitcher blows a save, he is no longer eligible to earn a save in that game (since the lead that he was trying to "save" has disappeared), although he can earn a win if his team regains the lead. For this reason, most closers' records include few wins. Closers make the majority of their appearances with their team ahead, so a win usually includes a blown save.\n\nIf a pitcher enters a game in a save situation (for a team leading by three runs or less) in an inning which is not the last (e.g. in a regulation 9-inning home game, pitching the top of the 8th), and his team later scores one or more run(s) to extend their lead beyond three runs, then as long as the same pitcher pitches until the end of the game, he is still credited with the save. As the various roles of relief pitchers have changed since the 1960s, closers who often pitch two or more innings have become increasingly rare; although exceptions remain.\n\nA pitcher also cannot create his own save situation. For instance, if he enters the game with a lead too large for a save, he would not make himself eligible for a save by surrendering enough runs to contract the lead to within save range. It must be a save situation when he enters the game, or he will not be able to earn one.

To be honest, I always thought it had something to do with a "knock out"; but I found this on Wikipedia:\n\nIn scoring, a swinging strikeout is recorded as a K, or a K-S. Some scorers record strikeouts where the batter didn't swing at the last pitch with a backwards-facing K, also recorded as K-C. The use of "K" for a strikeout was invented by Henry Chadwick, a newspaper journalist. The letter "S" was used to coin "sacrifice" so Mr. Chadwick decided to use "K", with "K" being the last letter in "struck".

One theory holds that "S" was already being used for or could be confused with a single, stolen base, sacrifice fly or sacrifice hit (bunt), second base, or even SS for shortstop. \n\nBut that prob'ly aint it at all. And some people do use SO for strike out The most common scoring system used today, and the one you'll find in your program, with it's diamond diagram and the positions numbered 1 for pitcher, 2 for catcher, 3 for 1st base, etc. was, according to the folks at Cooperstown, invented by one Henry Chadwick in 1874. \n\nApparently Mr Chadwick was just impressed with the harsh sound of the K in the word strike. Though I hardly ever hear that k sound from an umpire, most of them just sound like they are saying "Ssstryyyyyy!" or even just "Ryyyyyyyye!" \n\nSome people just put one K in the diamond for a strike out , some use Kc or a backwards K for a called third strike. Others put each strike in the diamond with an F for a foul strike. Some even keep a record of each pitch and where it crossed or didn't cross the plate, usually that is kept in a separate area for the pitchers stats and then compared later to the batters stats if ya wanta get that involved. They use a FK for foul strike and F for fouls after the 2nd strike. \n\nThat is way too fouled up for me. In fact I am one of those who gets fouled up by the 3 for 1st base, when I do try to score a game I use letters and numbers for the positions, 1 is firstbaseman, Cf center field, Ph pinchhitter. \n\nBut anyway that trying to keep a record of each pitch, or at least each strike, in the tiny diamond, some claim is the main evidence for another theory, the first strike was a vertical line "I", the second was the top angle line, the third the bottom angle.\n\nMaybe Old Chadwick just liked the K sound in his own name and used it, who Knows? K passa? 'K? \n\nThere kould be other theories but there is little evidence to support the theory that there are sekret Klan Konklaves goin on out there under the skoreboard.

Batting Average Against.....a pitchers stat.\n\nMeans if a pitcher has a .220 BAA....all hitters he faces is hitting .220 against him.  .220 is pretty darn good.  \n\nMake sense?

I don't think they do it by games, I think they do it by innings - some games take longer than others, and sometimes a pitcher may only pitch part of a game (hence the distinction between SP and RP).  Your local AD would probably have that information.

Not sure, but the link below lists the records for hits in a game.

No, postseason statistics are a seperately kept statistic.  As an example, Hank Aaron holds the home run record with 755, but Mickey Mantle has the playoff record with 18.  Those 18, then, would not count toward his "regular" home run totals.\n\nI find that these statistics, especially for football, can be tough to find in an easy format online.

These stats are actually pretty easy to come by... especially in baseball (considered by most to be the greatest game relied on stats).  I've included a bunch of websites that have Griffey's stats...\n\nMatt
