	Single (baseball) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball, a single is the most common type of base hit, accomplished through the act of a batter safely reaching first base by striking the ball and getting to first before being made out, without the benefit of a fielder's misplay (see error) or another runner being put out on a fielder's choice.
		Singles are not usually tabulated separately in a player's records, although a player's total number of singles can easily be determined by subtracting doubles, triples and home runs from hits.
		See single for other uses of the word.

	Baseball Formulas for Offensive Baseball Stats by Baseball Almanac
		This is an advanced statistic which requires the complete understanding of on base percentage, slugging average and a park adjustment factor.
		Total Baseball has adjusted OBP and SA for the player's home park and League OBP and League SA are the league average for each statistic respectively.
		Therefore, the statistic is meant to estimate the impact of base-stealers, which, other than the elite base-stealers, rarely amounts to more than a few runs per year for each team.

	Baseball statistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The practice keeping of records of the achievements of the players was started in the 19th century by Henry Chadwick, who devised the predecessors of statistics like batting average, runs scored, and runs allowed based on his experience of cricket.
		Traditionally, statistics like batting average for batters (the number of hits divided by the number of at bats) and earned run average (approximately the number of runs given up by a pitcher per nine innings) have governed the statistical world of baseball.
		Comprehensive, historical baseball statistics were difficult for the average fan to access until 1951, when researcher Hy Turkin published "The Complete Encyclopedia of Baseball".

		Baseball is played between two teams of nine players each on a baseball field, usually under the authority of one or more officials, called umpires.
		Although baseball is considered a non-contact sport; a runner may be allowed to make potentially dangerous contact with a fielder as part of an attempt to reach a base, unless that fielder is fielding a batted ball.
		Baseball is thought to be a direct descendant of cricket, rounders, and town ball (which was much like rounders), though the game's true origins are uncertain.

	Illuminations: Fun with Baseball Stats
		Students familiar with baseball usually seek out a player with whom they are familiar, whereas others simply choose a player with an unusual name or a name that matches their own.
		The teacher explains that from the results of an at bat, the student (1) moves around the bases or (2) is "out" and must root for his or her teammates while awaiting the next turn.
		The groups are then given the opportunity to discuss their drafting strategy and are encouraged to interpret the statistics on the back of each card in terms of that player's potential contribution to the team.

	Read This: Teaching Statistics With Baseball
		More troubling from a statistical standpoint is that the terms "random" and "independent" are thrown around without any definitions, leaving the interpretation of the terms to the reader's instincts, or the instructor's presentation.
		The biggest payoff for the baseball fan is the last chapter, in which an inning of baseball is modeled as a Markov chain.
		For further information regarding rigorous statistical examination of baseball issues, consult another book by Jim Albert (with Jay Bennett), Curve Ball: Baseball, Statistics, and the Role of Chance in the Game, or contact the Society for American Baseball Research at http://www.sabr.org.

	Baseball Statistics [alexreisner.com]
		The goal here is not to duplicate excellent resources like Total Baseball or The Baseball Encyclopedia, but to take the same data and present it in a way that shows different relationships, yields new insights, and raises new questions.
		The focus is on putting single season stats in a historical context and identifying the truly outstanding player seasons, not just those with big raw numbers.
		In recent years, and especially since Bill James self-published his first Baseball Abstract in 1977, there is an increased awareness that many of the traditional statistics used to evaluate baseball players are lacking.

	Babe Ruth
		Babe Ruth was an American original - perhaps no single word describes him better than "Ruthian," and maybe that says it all.
		Baseball's most celebrated slugger, his popularity saved baseball in the wake of the 1919 Black Sox scandal, and he changed the way the game was played by adding dimension to offenses with the home run.
		As America sank into the Great Depression, Ruth's muscle turned to fat and his legendary power began to fade - in 1933, heh it 34 HR and drove in 103 runs, numbers that for him were subpar.

	Greatest Pitching Seasons
		Of course, he logged a league-high 336 innings; but given that his ERA was only good enough for fourth place that year in the AL, you have to believe that he wasn't as valuable to his team as Bob Gibson was to the Cards.
		Prior to the expansion in 1961, my chosen statistical measure can be misleading because of the concentration of talent, the various live ball and dead ball eras that have gone by, and the fact that pitchers often threw vast numbers of innings relative to contemporary hurlers.
		But for sheer relative dominance over an extended cycle of innings pitched, my vote goes to Charlie "Old Hoss" Radbourn, who carried the 1884 Providence Grays on the back of his microscopic ERA of 1.16, when the league average was 2.98 - exactly what it was in 1968.
