It means Batting Average Against. It is used to show what opposing hitters are hitting off of a particular pitcher. For example, Randy Johnson had a .197 BAA in the 2004 season. That means opposing hitters had a .197 batting average against him that season.

Since 1950, Yankee pitchers have hit 264 Red Sox batters, and Red Sox pitchers have hit 337 Yankee batters. (Numbers recent as of August 2013.)
There is more than just one reason that the catcher calls the game. One reason is that most of the time the catcher is more familiar with the opposing hitters. Since the catcher is also aware of what pitches are working that day for his pitcher, it makes more sense for him to call for pitches that will keep the opposing hitters of balance. Many times the pitches are signalled in to the catcher from either his manager or pitching coach. This allows the pitcher to consentrate only on what his catcher is calling.

*It's probably happened too many times to mention. The most recent pitcher to accomplish the feat was Cliff Lee, who was a member of the Philadelphia Phillies during the 2009 World Series and the Texas Rangers during the 2010 Series.

A pitcher's era (earned run average) is calculated as follows: 1. Number of Earned Runs 2. Times 9 3. Divided by number of innings pitched So, if a pitcher gives up 3 earned runs in 5 innings then we first multiply 3 times 9 = 27. Then we take 27 and divide it by 5 (for innings pitched) to get an era of 5.4. Also, an earned run is a run that scores without the defense creating any errors.
