Each team fields nine players. Each batter is allowed a maximum of three strikes or four balls. A batting average is calcu- lated for every batter to the 10th of a percent. A pitcher's earned run average is calculated to the 100th of a percent. For the baseball fan there is also the 7th inning stretch.
Baseball is a game of numbers.
Buddhism, too, also involves a lot of numbers. For example, the Pure Land of Amida Buddha is said to be found in the Westward direction. West is one of ten directions that Buddhism speaks of. Here are more numbers used in Buddhism. Buddhism began when Sakyamunl Buddha became Enlightened and after he gave his first sermon on the Four Noble Truths.
