Actually the AB are the anchor to league totals to the best of my knowledge. so you could say that various occurrences are per AB. These can be tied back to games played which you already know if you're getting data from the minor league reference. I wouldn't worry about being a few games off because the output league totals vary + and - 5% at least.

If you are interested, I'm setting up a spreadsheet this weekend that captures real MLB and minor league totals for 2009 (this can be done for any year with data) and then normalizes them to produce an LTM based on your current leagues output.

I could send this to you.
