When scoring baseball, each position is given a number. Pitcher(1), Catcher(2), 1B(3), 2B(4), 3B(5), SS(6), LF(7), CF(8), and RF(9). A 4-6-3 double play would be a grounder to the second baseman, who threw to the shortstop at second, and the shortstop threw to first.

Re-post: who wins?? new york or boston??

4-6-3 refers to the position number of the players. most double plays are when the 2nd baseman (4) throws the ball to the shortstop (6) that is covering 2nd, and then throws the ball to the 1st baseman (3).
