Answer 1 :
Hits (2873) / At Bats (8398) = .342 Rounded
Answer 2 : (
Hits(176) + BB(156) + HBP(2) ) / (AB (514) + BB(156) + HBP(2))
Answer 3 :
1907, no doubles, Hits(212)-2b(28)= 184 / AB(605) = .304
Answer 4 :
Lifetime HR total = 534 - 58 - 50 = 426
Answer 5 :
Cy Young (511) + Walter Johnson (417) + Christy Mathewson(373) + Grover Alexander (373) = 1674 wins
