Sometimes games that are rained out are not made up if they have no bearing on the final season's standings. That would make it possible to play in 160 or 161 games in a season yet play in every game that the team played for the season.
Going into the 2011 season, Derek Jeter has averaged 207hits per season. This is not a season by season average, being that players do not play in the same amount of games every year. It is based solely on a 162 game average, throughout Derek's career.
There was a strike by the players at the start of the season. The owners, realizing that playing those games would result in paying more money to their players, refused to re-schedule them.
No. A player's statistics will be broken down into regular season and postseason but not preseason. Preseason games are considered practice and a time to find out who will make the team. Many players play in preseason games that don't make the team or would get limited playing time if they do make the team. So preseason statistics do not count towards career totals. Quite frankly, I don't know if any team even keeps historical preseason statistical data.
