I believe it's something like "Earned Runs Average", which touches off another tangent: Baseball has a very high statistical component it seems. While watching game 1, I saw something amongst the lines of:
"35 hits and 35 (something or other) in two consecutive seasons has only been accomplished once since 19XX..."
And I know for a fact that there are HUGE book with nothing but baseball stats cut up in infinite ways.
