These are the final 1992 statistics for all American League players 
with at least 250 plate appearances.

EPEQA is a measure of run production per out, normalized to the league
average and corrected for park effects. The league average, by
definition, is .235. The scale is similar to batting average.

EPER are the runs that would result from that EPEQA in a standard season.
They are calculated as EPEQA, squared, times outs, times 3.1.
Note that runs are proportional to the square of the EPEQA.

Since they are normalized to park and league, they allow inter-season
comparisons to be made fairly readily. The best career EPEQA belongs to
Babe Ruth, at .375.

E-mail me for details on how it is derived. If enough people are
interested, I'll post it.  drw3l@delmarva.evsc.virginia.edu
