I always say RBIs but, baseball terms are weird. Where else would you say “flied”? Chinese restaurant?

RBIs

RBI is technically correct. But I don’t get worked up over RBI’s either.
The plural of Run-batted-in isn’t Run-batted-in’s but rather Runs-batted-in.

SO RsBI
You probably don't care, much like myself. My only contention is that the MLB glossary of terms uses the term RBIs in their examples of what an RBI is. But in other unit-based acronyms, the same thing is used for singular and plural. The most notate example is PSI (Pound(s) per square inch), it is the same for 1 PSI as for 10 PSI.
And yes, I have argued it both ways on here.

This is such a stupid topic! This is not just an argument that happens with RBIs, it also happens with MREs, WMDs, POWs and so so on. If you change one change them all

It’s RBI when it’s singular, it’s RBIs when it plural, and it’s RBI’s when it’s possessive. Anyone that tells you it’s RBI only is wrong.

Thanks for your valuable input and revealing that you are easily drawn into stupidity.

I know RBI is right but when I'm using it in a sentence I always default to RBIs

Can’t plural an abbreviation. Would be saying runs batted in’s.
