Remember that acronyms are a type of abbreviation.

An acronym is an abbreviation pronounced as a word (AIDS, NATO) and not as individual letters (USA, ASPCA, HTBT). Offhand, I can't think of any baseball acronyms. In fact, as I look at the lists people have posted, I realize that most of the abbreviations are virtually never spoken, only written as useful shorthand.

I Googled "POV" and "MILF" together. Oh, my.
