Players with 245 at-bats plus walks in the Current Season are eligible to appear on major league rosters (see Fermann Terms).
Exception: There are 34 or fewer eligible catchers in the Current Season. Use the following criteria to determine illegible catchers: 230 at-bats plus walks.
COMMENTARY:
To save time and labor in separating and sifting through 900 cards and determining which is an eligible card, Larry and Shirley are using their Fun Card. The 245 figure came about after researching the 2023 MLB season: there were 92,000 plate appearances, 90,000 at-bats plus walks, and 2,000 hbp, sac bunts, etc., or .978 percent of 92,000 PAs. Shirley multiplied .978 by 250 to get 245, rounded up.
