re: Where do you stand? RBI or RBIs?

Hmm. Let's see if we can find some sort of authority or another who might shine a light on the acceptable or expected usage of RBI or RBIs in a sentence.

Does RBI mean Run Batted In or Runs Batted In? Or both? If we want to really ratchet this up, if 1 RBI is 1 Run Batted In (which it clearly is) and not 1 Runs Batted In then should we really be saying "Tommy White will have 10 RsBI"?

A batter is credited with an RBI in most cases where the result of his plate appearance is a run being scored. There are a few exceptions, however. A player does not receive an RBI when the run scores as a result of an error or ground into double play.
The most common examples of RBIs are run-scoring hits. However, players also receive an RBI for a bases-loaded walk or hit by pitch. Players can earn RBIs when they make outs, as well, provided the out results in a run or runs (except, as noted above, in the case of double plays).
Along with home runs and batting average, RBIs are a part of baseball's offensive Triple Crown.
