1) What is a RBI?
2) Why do they matter?
3) Why don't they matter?

You can learn a lot by watching people react to RBI's.

1) RBI -runs batted in. It's a basic stat, and is very popular.

2) RBI's matter because the entire point of the game is scoring. Top RBI men win awards, get paid very well, and score with chicks.

3) RBI's are all about context.
