7. Runs Created
• “With regard to an offensive player, the first key
question is how many runs have resulted from
what he has done with the bat and on the
basepaths. Willie McCovey hit .270 in his career,
with 353 doubles, 46 triples, 521 home runs and
1,345 walks -- but his job was not to hit doubles,
nor to hit singles, nor to hit triples, nor to draw
walks or even hit home runs, but rather to put
runs on the scoreboard. How many runs resulted
from all of these things?”
