If you have an age where the pitching rubber is 43 feet from the home then the front line or the batters box would be 38 feet 3 1/2 inches from the rubber. If you are at a younger age where the pitching distance is shorter then minus 4 feet 8 1/2 inches from that distance and you will have the front line of the box.
Batters with at least 30 at bats; Dick Allen had the highest batting average, in 44 at bats Allen had a .364 batting average.

Rod Carew had the highest batting average of batters with at least 90 at bats with a .301 batting average in 93 ABs.

Between 1871 and the end of the 2007 season, major league batters have hit safely 3,436,129 times in 13,098,551 at bats, for a cool .262 batting average. As for the postseason, since the 1903 World Series (again through 2007) batters have only hit .245, going 19,718 for 80,594. Maybe Yankees fans should go easy on A-Rod*.

The highest average for batters who appeared in all six games of the Series was posted by Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, who hit .407 (11 hits in 27 at bats).

Usually AB is an offensive stat which stands for At Bat, meaning who is batting at the current moment. BF usually stands for Batters Faced, used as a pitching stat next to how many batters that pitcher struck out (Batters faced is not used in computing a pitcher's ERA, or Earned Run Average. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earned_run_average)
