World series?

At Bats divided by hits. Sacrifices, (both bunts and flies), base on balls, Hit by Pitches, and catcher's interference are not counted as At Bats. Errors and Fielder's Choices are not counted as hits. Therfore if a player reaches on an error, he is 0 for 1 or .000. If he gets a hit next time his average raises to .500 (1 for 2)

Can someone please explain to me what is going on between Curt Schilling and Barry Bonds?

In baseball, the batting average (BA) is defined as the ratio of hits to at bats.

Players you hate the most?

They take the total number of hits (singles, doubles, triples and home runs) and divide that by the number of official at-bats.

An "at-bat" is every time they come to bat, minus times where they were walked, hit by a pitch, reached base on fielder interference or successfully made a sacrifice.

Which baseball team has the best announcers?

Batting average is just how many hits divided by at bats. Like if someone goes 2 for 5 their average for the day would be .400

Why should big market teams share their money?

You take the number at bats and divide by the number of hits. There you go!

BTW... have u seen Fever Pitch, that's a true fan

Rank these 7 teams from best to worst?

number of hits / number of at-bats
so 10 hits/30 at-bats = .333 average

The number of hits divided by the number of times at bat..

What versatile athlete's nickname was insipred by her mighty baseball swing?

Amy, before you say anything about anybody smoking, why don't you educate yourself on a topic before you flap your gums. I participate in a medical forum with a physician, who works in a STD clinic; in his thirty years there, he's never seen anybody acquire HIV from heterosexual contact. So, tell me, what makes you think you'll get HIV from hand to genital contact?

On another note, how the hell do you not know how to calculate a batter's batting average? I'm guessing your acedemic test grades are as slow as their batting averages.


Okay, a person can claim that they're heterosexual, but that doesn't mean they haven't injected drugs or had homosexual contact. According to a certified physician, in America, about 95 % of people with HIV are either IDUs or homosexuals. And, for the other five: 4 percent are "true" heterosexual females and 1 percent are "true" heterosexual males. I really don't want to go into much more detail about HIV in a sports topic. Do some more research.

By the way, I didn't say that nobody acquires HIV from heterosexual contact. I said that he said, in his thirty years at his STD clinic, not once has he come in contact with a "true" heterosexual person that has had HIV.

Also, doesn't the word "average" in batting average pretty much give it away? I think that basically explains itself. Have a good evening, Amy.
