	Bases and Outs: an overview
		The only official statistics of baseball's first professional league, for instance--the 1870's "National Association"--were at-bats, base hits, runs scored and batting average.

		There are so many ways for players to produce outs in baseball that we are better off, for the time being, concentrating on the comparatively fewer number of ways in which they may produce bases.
