야구중계를 보다 보면 전광판에 H,R,E등이 쓰여있는 것은 알겠는데요 TV화면에 나오는 Era, BB, DH, IP....등은 잘 모르겠더군요. 그리고 그 외의 용어들(예를 들면 '빈 볼'..)을 알려주시고요, 육상경기 중계화면에 나오는 기록에 관한 용어 가운데 'CR'은 무엇인지 궁금하네요. 그리고 각 종목이름이 영어로는 어떻게 되는지요...
Dear downy1,
Baseball:
ERA: Earned Run Average
BB: Base on Balls, generally refers to an at-bat that is not counted as a
at-bat because it was given up as a walk by the pitcher.
DH: Designated Hitter
IP: Innings Pitched, refers to the number of innings pitched by pitcher.
Track and Field:
CR: this most likely is an abbreviation for Conditioned Response.
Many sports buffs recommend 'espn.go.com' for sports news, trivia,
statistics and other sports information. You may find that this site can
help you better understand various sports terms.
Sincerely,

Both sentences are correct. The singular is used when the two infinitives
are considered one unit, while the plural is used when the two infinitives
are considered to be separate units. This is a matter of convention.

Although many native speakers use the expression "Thank you in advance," it is not considered to be an appropriate expression. The expression is

generally advise the use of a simple "Thank you" or "Thank you for your
consideration" or "Thank you very much."
