when keeping box scores a 2-5-6-3 lets someone that is reading it know what happend in the play. each number represents a defensive position. 2 = catcher, 5= third, 6 = short stop, 3 = first baseman. so if you know there was three outs made this play and the order of people involved in the play.. you can picture how it went down without watching video/radio.
Thanks, I understand now.
