There are a lot of sites with MLB stats. Start here:\nhttp://www.sportsline.com/mlb/stats\nhttp://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/statistics\n\nI have NO idea what "reuseted" means, so I don't know if those sites have those stats.

755, perhaps?  ; )\n\n(Career homeruns)

Each position on the field has a number .... when you here that string of numbers it tells you who touched the ball ... such as the short stop fielded the hit and threw it to the second baseman for an out who then threw it to the first baseman for an out.

It is Ballpark figure.  The expression means educated guess or your best estimate.\n\nIn the old days, baseball games were only played during daylight hours. News reporters covering the games wanted to know the attendance so they could report it in the evening paper. Managers would never want to reveal a low figure, so they guessed - giving a broad or ballpark figure.\n\nTaken from the article below.

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.

Easy enough:\n\nERA= (ER/IP)*9\n\nER = Earned Runs\nIP = Innings Pitched\nERA = average number of runs allowed per nine innings

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

It's kind of easy to figure out once you understand it. I still have to look back through an inning to figure it out.\n\nIf a runner reaches base because of an error than if that runner eventually scores, it is considered an unearned run.\n\nAlso, you have to imagine that that runner is out. Therefore, if there were two outs when the error happened, then any runs scored after that play would be unearned because you assume that the fielder would have fielded the ball cleanly and got the out.. No matter what.\n\nIf there are less than two outs, then at the end of the inning you look back and figure what would have happened if the runner had been out. \n\nThere are also errors that just allow a runner an extra base (like a throwing error on a play at the plate and the runner who hit the ball advances to second or third base because of the error).\n\nIn this case, you have to figure that the runner would still have been at the original base and then go through the inning and see if he would have scored.\n\nIt's a complicated thing, but if you understand it and have a scorebook in front of you, it's pretty easy to figure it out at the end of the inning.

It is a power rating indicator. This is the quick way I was taught, back when I was 7 years old...this helped me with my math skills quite a lot. Assign 1 Total Base (TB) for every single, 2 for every double, 3 for every triple and 4 for every HR, add all 4 #'s together and divide by the total # of at  bats (TB/AB=SLG) Really all a Slg Pct will tell you is, the # of Total bases per At Bat

nbabest9 confuses baseball with basketball.  6 - 3 mean the shortstop threw to the first baseman for the putout.  The fielders are numbered to enable shorthand scoring thus:  Pitcher 1, catcher 2, first baseman 3, second baseman 4, third baseman 5, shortstop 6, left fielder 7, center fielder 8, right fielder 9.  \n\nFor example a fly out to right field is scored "F9."  Or "F-9."  Another example:  a double play on a grounder to second baseman who throws to shortstop, who then throws to first is simply scored "4-6-3."

The 1st three numbers are state identifiers, the other numbers mean something too but i forget what, you can look it up online tho.

Makes you wonder, doesn't it? But there's actually a simple explanation.\n\nFrom Neil Cohen's article "How to Score a Game," from John Thorn and Pete Palmer's Total Baseball, we discover that Henry Chadwick, one of the first newspaper journalists to take a literary interest in baseball, built upon a scoring technique devised by fellow New York journalist M. J. Kelly. "Chadwick created a minutely detailed scorecard so he would have a point of reference and recollection when he wrote his articles about the game," Cohen writes. He adds that Chadwick invented the modern boxscore.\n\nChadwick also invented the system we use to indicate fielders (pitcher=1, shortstop=6, right field=9, etc.), and the abbreviations we use for events (HR, HBP, BB, so on). Chadwick needed S for sacrifice, so he chose K for strikeout - K being the last letter of "struck," which was then in more common use than the term "strikeout." \n\nSome people carry it further, using a K for a swinging strikeout, and a backward K for being caught looking. Some folks go with the more intuitive "SO," but this creates confusion with the abbreviation for "shutout," so "K" has remained the abbreviation of choice.

numbers correspond to different positions on the field\n1 pitcher\n2 catcher\n3 first base\n4 second base\n5 third base\n6 short stop\n7 left field\n8 center\n9 right\n\nso a 6-3 is the shotstop throwing the runner out at first\na 6-4-3 double play is the shortstop throwing to second base and the second base throwing to first.....hope that helps!!

The slugging percentage indicates the player’s ability to get extra-base base hits, such as doubles, triples, and home runs. The calculation for slugging percentage is the number of total bases achieved for all hits divided by the number of at bats. Slugging percentage tells you how many bases a player hits for each time at bat. \n\nTotal number of bases from hits (TB) divided by number of at bats (AB)\n\nTB = 1B + 2(2B) + 3(3B) + 4(HR) / AB
