There are certain exceptions: a player does not receive an RBI if he hits into a Double Play and a run scores, if a run is scored on a Wild Pitch or Passed Ball or as the result of an Error , or if the pitcher Balks . A player does receive an RBI if he is Walked or Hit By A Pitch with the bases loaded. He will also receive an RBI if a runner scores from his Sacrifice Fly or Sacrifice Bunt . As an example, if a player hit a Home Run with two runners on base, the batter would get three RBIs (since both baserunners as well as the batter would score). RBIs are sometimes referred to in Slang , as ''ribbies'' or ''ribs'', by interchanging the ''B'' and ''I'', or as ''steaks'' (as in 'ribeye steaks'). The first team to track the RBI stat was the now-defunct Buffalo Bison.
