In an 182 game season, so let's say you play 150+ games, so let's say 450+ at bats, getting a hit 30% of the time is GREAT.

And like @wwot40 said, last .400 average was 1940's...... Suzuki was a close one to .400

The modern MLB season is 162 games but the math still maths

Baseball is notorious for tracking every stat

So what you saying is... the scale is sliding based on the game, not the math mathing....

Just got into my office. The cat made sure I didn't sleep last night. Today is gonna be rough.
Good morning, folks.

My "cat" didn't let me sleep either....

Nah, at least I don’t think so. I believe his frozen head is slumbering in Arizona somewhere.

Don't threaten us with a good time sir!

I'm sure we would all end up in HR's office for some offense(s).

I guess it is better than ending up in the county jail..
Well maybe.. at least jail has handcuffs and tasers

Really?? Have to get a cat nap today when possible.

I played baseball in college. Were you a Baseball Annie?

At times sure. You might consider checking out my baseball groupie story if you haven't yet

Not in the same place right?

How ScarletDaisy baseballs:

If you have to go to a game, make sure that you have plenty of sunscreen and a large budget for alcohol. Before you go to a game, watch Major League. The numbers don't mean anything. Don't get hit by a baseball.

I love this so much. That'll prepare me for a visit to Dodgers stadium. Go Shohei.

Not with his body though?

This is so cool! I’d never heard of it before. Thank you for sharing it.

Ah it's a semi-permanent exhibit for Vivid light festival (Sydney's version of a winter lightshow). The whole city gets turned into a rave. I love it.

It's not about who wins and loses it's about how much fun you have

Need a nice long hug....

Well. You know.

OK. Batting average is calculated over the course of the season and is a cumulative average. It is simply the number of times a player comes up to hit (at bats) divided by the number of hits the player makes. In baseball a .300 average is excellent which means they are averaging 3 hits for every 10 at bats. Does that make sense?

Do home runs and how many times you run and bases you clear affect that calculation or is that another number?

If you don’t know baseball terms, how will you ever get to home plate
