On-base percentage
The formula shown was wrong. Sacrifices should be subtracted in denominator. Otherwise, it includes a time of bat that should not be ocunted in doing the division. Oklahomakid66 (talk) 20:01, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I've reverted your change to the formula at On-base percentage because it was incorrect. Consider the case of a batter with exactly one at-bat, a hit. The formula gives an OBP of 1.000. Now, if that batter gets a SF, the batter's OBP becomes 1/0, which is infinite/undefined, and quite wrong. With the original formula, it becomes 0.500, as it should be.
