Funny story about nolan Ryan?

I forget the exact names, I tried to look it up but without names my search was fruitless, so take this for what my memory is worth. Nolan Ryan had a really long career and made a lot of friends along the way but one of his best friends was his catcher when he first came up with the Mets. They roomed together and got to know each others tendencies. Years pass and Nolan is with the Angels and his catcher buddy is with the Tigers. Now, Nolan was a good guy but he had his pet peeves. 1. Batters crowding the plate. 2. Sacrifice bunts. Either one, if he was in a bad mood, was a bean-able offense. Well it was a close game, something like 2-0 Angels in the 8th inning. Nolan walked the lead off hitter and quickly stole second. Nolan's old friend was at bat and he got the sign to steal. He quickly backed out of the box and motioned for the catcher to come over. He said something to the effect of "Go tell Nolan I don't want to do this but they're telling me to bunt. Tell him to please not hit me." So the catcher calls time, walks to the mound talks to Nolan for a second, then trots back and squats down. The batter says "Well?" The catcher replied "He said 'Sorry.'" He plunked him in the butt with a meat ball.

What were some of the modern batting stats for baseball player Ryan Long in 1997?

In 1997, Ryan Long played for the Kansas City Royals. On Base Percentage (OBP) is considered by many to be a better measure of a great hitter than the Batting Average. It is calculated with the formula (Hits + Walks + Hit by Pitch) / (At Bats + Walks + Hit by Pitch + Sacrifice Flies). In 1997, Ryan Long had 9 at bats, 2 hits, 0 walks, and was hit by the pitch 1 time. He had 0 sacrifice flies. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .300. Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats). Another way to look at it is (Singles + 2 x Doubles + 3 x Triples + 4 x Home Runs) / (At Bats). In 1997, Ryan Long had 9 at bats, and hit 2 singles, 0 doubles, 0 triples, and 0 home runs, for a .222 slugging percentage. Being able to get on base and to hit for power are two of the most important offensive skills in baseball, so the On Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage are often added together. On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic. The best hitters in Major League Baseball can achieve an OPS of .900 or higher. In 1997, Ryan Long had a .300 On Base Percentage and a .222 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .522. Runs Created (RC) is a baseball statistic invented by Bill James to estimate the number of runs a hitter contributes to his team. There are a number of formulas used to calculate it. One of the simplest is (On Base Percentage) × (Total Bases). In 1997, Ryan Long had a .300 On Base Percentage and 2 Total Bases for .60 Runs Created.
