Baseball fans: What's the plural of RBI?

Poll question: Baseball fans: What's the plural of RBI?

Mike Greenberg was ranting about this on ESPN radio this morning. Says he's aware that it's "Runs Batted In" but that RBI has been around long enough to count as a word, not an abbreviation, so it should be RBIs.

I've always preferred RBI, without the 's.'

5. I think he's right about it "counting" as a word now. But I like ribbies.

7. Steaks

See, RBIs = rib-i's = ribeyes = steaks

And fuck Mike Greenburg, he's a whiny, pompous shit whose morning radio show sucks ass.

8. i could give less than a rats ass

about what golic/greenberg/cowherd/rome/jt the brick have to say about anything....it all started sounding like jibberish to me a long time ago

9. RsBI is far too awkward. I believe the correct terminology is RBI.

10. Depends on how you're using it.

If you're writing it in a sentence, you either write it out: "Pujols hit for the cycle with six runs batted in during last night's game against the Brewers." or use the abbreviation in a sentence: "Pujols hit for the cycle with 6 RBIs during last night's game against the Reds." Or, if it's in a linescore: "Pujols 4-5, 2B, 3B, HR, 6 RBI."

So...pick your poison. There's a case to be made for all of 'em.
