Adding a Limiter
Adding a Limiter
To limit the statistical range of your re-
quests, type a limiter following MAX or MIN
and the stat abbreviation or ratio. A limiter
searches for statistics that are greater than
or less than a particular number. Requests
with limiters always have this structure:
MAX or MIN + a stat abbreviation
or ratio + a stat abbrev
GT or LT + a number
In this example, we’ll find the players with
the most home runs (MAX HR) who had
less than 150 at bats (AB LT 150).
1. Press
MAX
or
MIN
, type a stat
abbreviation or ratio, and
then type a limiter.
You can either type GT or LT or press
G T / L T
. To get GT press the button
once; to get LT press the button
twice.
2. Press
ENTER
.
3. Use the arrow keys to view
the list.

Understanding Limiters
Each limiter must be proceeded by its
own stat abbreviation, even when that
stat abbreviation or ratio is the same as
the one following MAX or MIN. For ex-
ample, to view the players with the most
home runs who have at least 500 home
runs, you would need to enter MAX HR
HR GT 499. Notice the second HR.
When you’re limiting a ratio, you’ll usu-
ally want to limit the denominator. For
example, to view the players with the
best home-run-to-at-bats ratio who
have at least 1000 career at-bats, you
would enter MAX HR/AB AB GT 1000.

Limiting Biographical
Statistics
Type weight in pounds, height in inches
(e.g., 67 for players who are 5’7”), and
age in years.
In a given season, each player’s age is
determined by how old that player is on
July 1. So a player who is 24 years old
on June 30, is considered 24 years old
for the entire season.
