I should clarify...

I have no clue what RBI is used for...

Is it how many scores a batter has? h: Seriously, I have no clue... I know how ERA works... I don't know how RBI works... school me...

got two men on base and you bat and you get a double and they both run in, so you get 2 RBI's. I think

It's how many runs the player is responsible for scoring, including their own home runs.

For example, a player hits a home run with two runners on base. They get 3 RBIs. Say that same player hit a double instead, and both runners came in to score and he stayed on 2nd. He'd have 2 RBIs.

It's how many runs the batter bats in during the season. Pretty self explanitory. He gets a hit that drives a runner in = 1 RBI and so on Solo homerun also = 1 RBI

Edit: everyone jumped on that one
