	Slugging average - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball statistics, slugging average (often abbreviated SLG or SA) is a measure of the power of a hitter.
		The term slugging percentage is a misnomer, as it is actually a calculation of average, not percent.
		Long after it was first invented, the slugging average gained new significance when baseball analysts realized that it combined with on-base percentage (OBP) to form a very good measure of a player's overall production.

		Williams'.344 batting average ranks sixth on the all-time list, but his.634 slugging percentage is second (behind Babe Ruth), and his.483 on-base percentage is first (ahead of Ruth's.474).
		Henderson had had another great year in 1980, as a second year player, but Brett's.390 average stole the show and he finished a distant 10th in the voting, which was an injustice; in 1981 he finished a close second to rollie Fingers.
		In 1968, the "Year of the Pitcher," his.301 batting average was the lowest ever to lead the league, though relative to the league average it is as impressive as Bill Terry's.401 in 1930.

	Right Fielders
		Oh yeah, and he was a pretty good pitcher, too - he won an ERA title in 1916, when he went 23-12 and tossed 9 shutouts, and at one point he posted 29 consecutive scoreless innings in World Series play (a record that stood for 42 years).
		When he was on, Robinson was one of the game's most dangerous hitters - he became the first man to win the MVP in both the NL (1961) and AL (1966), and his Triple Crown in 1966 is a feat accomplished only one time since.
		He supplemented a lifetime batting average of.304 with 1,708 career walks - that was the NL record until 1982, when it was broken by Joe Morgan - and led the National League in free passes 6 times.

		After two more games went by without a home run, the Yankees breaking the American League record with their 106th victory of the season on September 24, Ruth was faced with having to hit four in the final four games for a new record, a tall order for anyone, even him.
		It was easy to become a fan of the ‘27 Yanks, for it was an offensive juggernaut that was truly worthy of their “Murderers’ Row” moniker, as they rewrote the record books with an unprecedented and devastating attack that had power top to bottom.
		In ’27, Pittsburgh had led the senior circuit with a team batting average of.305, which was just two points off the Yanks’ average, but lacking considerably in the long ball.

	Current Biography Excerpts: Baseball
		Since becoming an everyday player in 1983, his second season in the majors, Boggs has averaged 101 walks per year, and his career on-base percentage (the frequency with which a batter reaches base via hit, walk, or being hit by the pitch) is an astounding.437.
		The.331 average that he has compiled at the plate since 1983 places him third on the all-time Yankee list, behind Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, and in 1987 Mattingly set one major league record by hitting six grand slams and tied another by belting at least one home run in eight consecutive games.
		With his ability to hit for power as well as average, his peerless defensive skills, and his speed on the base paths, Ryne Sandberg may be the greatest all-around second baseman in baseball history.
