&nbsp;
<br>a while back i posted a little game that i thought was interesting.&nbsp;
the goal was to sort all of the known stats from most frequent to least
frequent.&nbsp; i thought i would analyze some box scores and see what
the stats themselves had to say.&nbsp; here is the result of 400 games
(AL, NL and playoff), with the stats sorted by most to least frequent.&nbsp;
those that i couldn't find from box scores or didn't occur in those 400
games are marked with an asterisk (*) and include my guess as to how they
would sort.
<p>thoughts?
