A-Rod just homered again! #14 on the season.?

First off it's not dumb trying to get involved in a sport. (I am watching playoff hockey and don't know half the things the annoucers are saying.)

And for a complete answer for your question:

In baseball statistics, a run batted in (RBI) is given to a batter for each run scored as the result of a batter's plate appearance.

There are certain exceptions: a player does not receive an RBI if he hits into a double play and a run scores, if a run is scored on a wild pitch or passed ball or as the result of certain errors, or if the pitcher balks. A player does receive an RBI if he is walked or hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. He will also receive an RBI if a runner scores from his sacrifice fly or sacrifice bunt.
