TAKE ME OUT

Greg Pliska, Chris Morse

 

There is a hint embedded in the player's numbers. Converting them to letters (A=1, etc.) they read: COLS AT END.

 

Solvers must complete the columns at the end of the score sheet, then use the totals in the runs (R), hits (H), and runs batted in (RBI) columns to index the player's names. Reading down the columns spells the message: PLAYER RON OR CONRAD AKA DELL. This references pitcher Ron Darling and catcher Conrad "Dell" Darling.

 

DARLING is the correct answer to this puzzle.
