Making Requests With MAX and MIN
Typing Requests at the Request line
Once you understand how list requests are structured, you can type your requests
directly at the Request line rather than using the menus. Typing requests is the fast,
expert way to find statistics.
Requests beginning with MAX or MIN have this basic structure:
MAX or MIN + STATISTIC or RATIO + LIMITER(S) + QUALIFIER(S)
These rules apply to MAX and MIN requests:
• You must type a space after each element of the request--
commands, statistics, Limiters, and Qualifiers;
• The numeric Limiters, GT and LT, must be preceded by their
own statistic and followed by a number;
• You can type no more than two numeric Limiters in a request;
• You can type only one team and one year Limiter in a request;
• You can combine numeric, team, and year Limiters;
• You can type as many Qualifiers as you like, in any order.
You can also type requests that begin with AW (for Awards) or WS (for World Series)
Simply type a space and year after them.
For example, AW 1990 or WS 1903.
You'll learn more these requests later in this manual.

This request asks for the players with the highest home-run-to-at-bats ratio (MAX
HR/AB), who have greater than 2000 career at-bats (AB GT 2000), who bat left-
handed (BL), and who have played for the Yankees after 1945 (YANKEES 1945-).
