@ support ,

for email game box score, .... the "RBI" column heading seems to have lost its "R". "BI" is a bit confusing at first glance. suspect you will want to put this on list for future fix.

It is not lost. "BI" is the standard notation used in newspapers to save the column since it is a fixed with font. You can see examples from newspapers here - https://www.poynter.org/2015/the-slow-d ... rs/372171/

Yet RBI not BI is used everywhere else in iScore, mlb, ncaa, baseball-reference.com, Si, espn, sbnation etc.

been such a long time since i relied on the sporting news for stats and my daily boxscores from newspapers Houston chronicle, and dallas morning news, i would have bet they had used RBI..oh well.
