Description
In baseball statistics, total bases (TB) is the number of bases a player has gained with hits. It is a weighted sum for which the weight value is 1 for a single, 2 for a double, 3 for a triple and 4 for a home run. Only bases attained from hits count toward this total. Reaching base by other means (such as a base on balls) or advancing further after the hit (such as when a subsequent batter gets a hit) does not increase the player’s total bases.
Presented is an OAL (Brown) baseball signed by two members of the stolen base season leader club. Signers in blue ballpoint (“8-9”) include Rickey Henderson on the sweet spot and Lou Brock on the top panel. The baseball itself shows mild toning from age.
