In Major League Baseball when a team wins a "penant" what does this mean?
It is possible that this player played in three games that ended-up in a rain-out/postponed game? I believe that either the american or national league allow their players to keep the statistics from a partially-played game, even though it will be replayed later? Another possibility, is that his team was involved in a division tiebreaker game at the end of the season..which does count in the standings as an extra game, or games if more than one is needed!He was traded in midseason
Who is the greatest Yankee player on the team this year?
The player was traded to a team three more games to play than his original team.Until this season, and under certain circumstances, a game that was called after it had started would be replayed in it's entirely. That's how Tony Fernandez played 163 games in 1986.
That could happen more than once in a season, to any team. In addition, though, an actual playoff game counts as part of the regular season
Yes, playoff game. In baseball, a playoff game is one that decides the division or the wild card. It's played the day after the regular season ends, and it counts as part of the regular season for both teams. The LDS, LCS and WS games are not called playoff games but post-season games.
You've made a point of saying "his team" and not his teams, so a mid-season trade wouldn't apply here. Normally, though, it would help to account for "extra" games. It also accounts for any given player playing against a particular other team more times than either of his teams would do on their own. That happened to Bill Buckner in 1988. Yes, THAT Bill Buckner.
In minor league baseball...what does it mean when a player is "released"?
It's either a typo or he might have started the season on a different team.Would you want a dress code implemented by your favorite team?
A player before this season could play in 163 games in a regular seasoin if his team was involved in a tie game. A tie game occured when the score was tied (duh) after each team had equal number of at-bats and the game was official (Five or more completed innings) and the visiting team did not score or take the lead in its half of the inning in which the game was called. That rule was altered to make it a suspended game similar to the minor leagues.Why are the milwaukee Brewers so good this year?
