Making Requests With MAX and MIN
Best- and Worst-Ever List Requests
With Big League Baseball, you can find best- and worst-ever lists in 23 statistical
categories. Just type or enter MAX or MIN at the Request line. Then type a
statistical category.
MAX stands for maximum, most, or highest. MIN stands for minimum, fewest, or
lowest. The 23 statistical categories, or statistics, are divided into 11 batting
statistics, nine pitching statistics, and three biographical statistics. For a complete list
of statistical categories, see Appendix B in this manual.
When you combine MAX or MIN and a statistic, you create simple best- or worst-ever
requests.
For example, MAX HR asks for batters with the most home runs. MIN ERA asks
for pitchers with the lowest earned run averages.
Your lists may contain up to 100 players. Later in this manual you'll learn how to
focus your requests with Limiters and fine-tune them with Qualifiers.
