In today's sporting world there are so many stats to follow.  WHIP, R/S, ERA, K/9, IP, BAA...and so forth.  Even some of the most knowledgable sport minds get confused with all the different stats and their abbreviations.  So I have decided to create a master list of all abrreviations for each sport.  Beginning today with baseball.  Whether this helps you with your TD, reading TD's, or just trying to decipher a sport column by your favortie writer, I hope this helps!
