		The sacrifice fly has dubious run value because it is entirely dependent on a situation not under the batter's control: while a single or a walk or a hit by pitch always has potential run value, a long fly does not unless a man happens to be poised at third base.
		HIT BY PITCH A batter struck by a pitched ball was not awarded first base until 1884 in the American Association and 1887 in the National League.
		A man who bats.270, hits 25 homers, and drives in 80 runs may be an average performer in left field, no matter how good his glove; but credit those batting stats to a shortstop or second baseman and you have a star, because the defensive demands of the position are so much greater.

	Sacrifice hits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-05-30)
		In baseball, a sacrifice hit is the act of deliberately strikingthe ball in a manner that allows a runner on base to advance to another base, while the batter is himself put out.
		A properly executed sacrifice hit in this scenario puts the ball into fairplay a few feet in front of home plate, so the fielding team's only chance for an out is to put out the batter at first base.This avoids an inning -ending doubleplay and results in the runners advancing to second and third base.
		A sacrifice hit may also be executed when there are noouts, or when there is a single runner on first or second base.

		Hits Allowed divided by (Batters Faced minus Walks minus Hit Batsmen minus Sacrifice Hits minus Sacrifice Flies minus Catcher's Interference).
		Therefore, zone rating should not be interpreted simply as the percentage of balls hit into a player's zone that the fielder was able to turn into outs (if that were the proper definition, it obviously would be impossible for a player to post a zone rating anywhere close to 1.000).
		An outfielder's zone rating equals the balls hit into his zone which do not result in hits, divided by the number of balls hit into his zone.

		Also, a hitting streak (consecutive game or consecutive at-bat) may be ended by a sac fly (Rule 10.24: "The streak shall terminate if the player has a sacrifice fly and no hit.") but not by a base on balls, hit batsman, defensive interference or a sacrifice bunt.
		Since 1954, the obvious result of the sacrifice fly rule is to positively affect batting averages since the flyout at-bats were converted to sacrifices that did not enter into the batting average calculation.

		From 1908-25, they included what we would now call a sacrifice fly (sacrifices increase 25% between 1907 and 1908 as a result).
		From 1931-38, sacrifice flies were eliminated completely (causing a 45% drop in sacrifices, and a 4-point decline in batting averages); that brought us back to the modern definition of sacrifice hit.
		When sacrifice flies appeared again in 1954, they had their own category, so the rule for what we would call a sacrifice hit has not changed since 1940.

		(b) When a batter apparently hits safely and a runner who is forced to advance by reason of the batter becoming a runner fails to touch the first base to which that runner is advancing and is called out on appeal.
		Do not credit the batter with a two-base hit where a preceding runner trying to advance from first base is put out at third base, or would have been put out but for an error.
		A batter may deserve a two-base hit even though a preceding runner advanced one or no bases; a batter may deserve only a one-base hit even though the batter reaches second base and a preceding runner advanced two bases.
