Major League Baseball Rules of Interest

Calculating the “Magic Number”: Determine the number of games to be played by the team in the lead.
Add one to that number. Subtract from that figure the number of games ahead in the loss column from
the closest opponent.
Determining Earned Run Average: Multiply earned runs by nine, then divide total by innings pitched.
Determining Batting Average: Divide total hits by total at-bats.
Determine Slugging Percentage: Divide the total bases of all safe hits by the total number of at-bats.
Determining On-Base Percentage: Divide hits + walks + hit-by-pitch, by at-bats + walks + hit-by-pitch +
sacrifice flies.
Determining Fielding Percentage: Divide the total number of putouts and assists by the total of putouts,
assists and errors.
The Winning Pitcher: The starting pitcher will be credited with the win only if the pitcher has pitched at
least five complete innings and his team not only is in the lead when he is replaced, but remains in the
lead the remainder of the game. EXCEPTION: The “must-pitch-five-complete-innings” rule in respect to
the starting pitcher shall be in effect for all games of six or more innings. In a five-inning game, credit the
starting pitcher with a game won only if he has pitched at least four complete innings and his team not only
is in the lead when he is replaced, but remains in the lead the remainder of the game. When the starting
pitcher does not meet the preceding criteria and more than one relief pitcher is used, the victory shall be
awarded on the following basis:
(1) When, during the tenure of the starting pitcher, the winning team assumes the lead and maintains it to
the finish of the game, credit the victory to the relief pitcher judged by the official scorer to have been the
most effective.
(2) Whenever the score is tied, the game becomes a new contest insofar as the winning and losing pitcher
is concerned.
(3) Once the opposing team assumes the lead, all pitchers who have pitched up to that point are excluded
from being credited with the victory except the current pitcher.
(4) The winning relief pitcher shall be the one who is the pitcher of record when his team assumes the
lead and maintains it to the finish of the game. EXCEPTION: Do not credit a victory to a relief pitcher who
is ineffective in a brief appearance, when a succeeding relief pitcher pitches effectively in helping his team
maintain the lead. In such cases, credit the succeeding relief pitcher with the victory.

Earning a Save: Credit a pitcher with a save when he meets all of the following conditions;
(1) He is the pitcher that finished the game won by his team.
(2) He is not the winning pitcher.
FRONT
(3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions:
a. He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning, or
b. He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, at bat, or on
deck (that is, the potential tying run either already on base or is one of the first two batters he faces), or
c. He pitches effectively for at least three innings.
Consecutive Game Hitting Streak: A consecutive game hitting streak shall not be terminated if the player’s
plate appearance(s) results in a base on balls, hit batter, defensive interference or sac bunt. The streak shall
terminate if the player has a sac fly and no hit. Hitting streaks do not carry over from season to season.
Consecutive Game Playing Streak: A consecutive game playing streak shall be extended if the player plays
one-half inning on defense or if he completes a time at bat by reaching base or being put out. A pinch-
running appearance shall not extend the streak. If a player is ejected from the game by an umpire before
he can comply with the requirement of this rule, the streak shall continue.
Rain Delays: Pursuant to Rule 3.10(a), the manager of the home team shall be the sole judge as to whether
2002
a game shall be started because of unsuitable weather conditions or the unfit condition of the playing field,
except for the second game of a doubleheader. Pursuant to Rule 3.10(c), the umpire in chief shall be the
sole judge as to whether and when a game shall be suspended and as to whether and when play will be
resumed. An umpire shall not call a game until at least 30 minutes after he has suspended play. He may
continue the suspension as long as he believes there is any chance to resume play.
National League Curfew: There is no curfew in the National League. The game is in the hands of the umpires
once it has started.
2003
Major League Year: 172 days of service time constitutes a full year in the Major Leagues.
Rookie Status at the Major League Level: To be considered a rookie, a player must not have more than 130
at-bats, or 50 innings-pitched in the Major Leagues during a previous season or seasons, nor more than 45
days on a Major League roster during the Major League 25-player limit (excluding time in the military).

Baseball in Goodyear
On July 14, 2008 the Cincinnati Reds and the City of Goodyear,
Arizona finalized the terms on a binding use agreement that
paved the way for the team to move its spring training facilities
there in 2010.
The agreement includes a 20-year lease and two five-year team

options.
The Reds broke ground on their new spring training complex on

November 17, 2008.
“The proposed facilities in Goodyear are going to be some of

the best in baseball,” said Reds President and Chief Executive
Officer Bob Castellini. “We look forward to a working relationship
with the city that will help our team prepare for the start of the
Major League season every year.”
The Reds’ plans for their portion of the Goodyear Ballpark and
Recreational Sports Complex include a 40,700-square foot
clubhouse, six full practice fields and two half fields.
They will share the complex and stadium with the Cleveland
Indians. The Tribe’s instructional league team moved to
Goodyear in September 2008, while their first Major League
spring training camp will be held in the new facility in February
2009.
The main ballpark will seat 10,000 fans, including 500 premium
box seats, 8,000 fixed seats and space for 2,000 spectators on
a grassy berm in the outfield.

The Machine Room Grille
Great American Ball Park’s brewpub, located in the left-field corner, is a dedication to the Big Red
Machine, the Reds teams that dominated baseball in the 1970s. This spacious bar and grille has a
blue-collar feel, much like the Reds team of the era. Brick and steel finishes, with an exposed ceiling,
set the tone. Additional features of the brewpub include a mini electronic scoreboard, views of the
REDS IN
playing field, mock foul poles, outside seats, the zamboni used at Cinergy Field and plenty of Reds
memorabilia. Dishes include everything from burgers to pizza to barbeque.
The Riverfront Club

Located in the right-field section of the ballpark and overlooking the Ohio River is the Riverfront Club,
which offers world-class cuisine from an award-winning chef. Access to this upscale restaurant and bar
requires a membership. Premium Seat Holders enjoy a complimentary membership. Members can enjoy
a meal before the game or enjoy full service while watching the game from the Riverfront Club’s three

In Memoriam
On November 21, 2008 longtime Reds and Major League Baseball official scorer Glenn Sample died at
age 77. “Since 1980, Glenn was a fixture in the press box at Reds games. He was a remarkable person
who touched all of our lives through his unwavering devotion to the Reds, the University of Cincinnati and
our city,” said the Reds in a statement. “We are privileged to have been such a large part of his life.” The
2009 season would have been Sample’s 30th as a Major League
Baseball official scorer. A University of Cincinnati icon, Sample’s
uniform jersey #1 was retired when he was inducted into that school’s
Hall of Fame after amassing a school record 391 victories in 21
seasons as the Bearcats’ head baseball coach (391-33-7). He led
UC to 4 appearances in the NCAA tournament and 2 Missouri Valley
Conference baseball titles while sending more than 50 players to
the professional ranks. Sample also served as Cincinnati’s wrestling
coach and assistant athletic director. In pre-game ceremonies on
Opening Day 2009, the Reds formally dedicated the Glenn Sample
Official Scorer’s Booth at Great American Ball Park.
