[edit] Definition
At bat is defined in terms of plate appearance, and plate appearance was defined in terms of at bat--thus we have a circular definition. Seems to me that place appearance is the more fundamental term, even though it is less commonly used. I think my modifications to plate appearance take care of it.

[edit] Errors and At Bats
If the batter reaches first base on an error by a fielder, does that count as an 'at bat'? If not, the article needs to be updated to reflect that. WilliamKF 23:44, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Apparently, the answer is yes, it is an at bat and in computing stats like batting average it is as if you got an out. WilliamKF 23:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- This article seems to be gender biased. NorthernThunder 21:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
