Abbreviation Cheat Sheet

If this has been posted already, sorry.

With all of the statisitcal information available in the OOTP games, how about a tab that lists what all the abbreviations or acronyms stand for. I saw this in one of the Greydog demos and it was extremely helpful. Let's face it, not everyone is up on abbreviations like OPS, TAVG, IW, GDP, RSTA, RLS, etc. It could be a drop down menu with a brief explanation of the abbreviation.

If nothing else, this should probably go in the manual.

I do like access to stat abbreviations. I never get this name right, but I think it was Miller & Assoc. Baseball that, even early on, had an extremely helpful in-game help file that included a detailed explanation of how all these stats were arrived at as well as lineup formulas, etc.... Remember that part well.

This has been in the manual in the past, so probably will be in the next version I would think.

how about hyperlinking the column heading to a glossary page and directly to the definition for the stat in question (and how it is calculated). This would be the best way to handle it. Instant information.
