so, in trying to figure out the actual formula for this, i have run across two different ones. The first one comes from:
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/print...7&type=feature
which states: Total bases
Hits + 2B + (3B times 2) + (HR times 3)
But every other site i have found states this:
Total bases
H + (2*2B) + (3*3B) + (4*HR)
I tend to believe the first formula, since a double counts as a hit, so you are already counting 1st base on the double with the 'Hits'. Am I thinking about this correctly?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
