Total bases stat on this site's FAQ

[1992casey]

It seems to me that the formula for total bases is incorrect on this site's FAQ. I'd have simply sent a message to Brain's inbox, but I thought it'd be better to post here just in case I'm missing something.

 

Here's how it currently reads:

 

Total Bases = H + (2 x 2B) + (3 x 3B) + (4 x HR)

 

I think either of these two ways would be correct:

 

Total Bases = H + 2B + (2 x 3B) + (3 x HR)

 

Total Bases = Singles + (2 x 2B) + (3 x 3B) + (4 x HR)

 

It looks as if the way the stat is presented here, some of the 'bases' are counted twice. Doubles, triples, and homers are also hits.

Total Bases = H + 2B + (2 x 3B) + (3 x HR)

 

That's the correct one when using hits.
