Innings Pitched (usually) or Team Games is used in the calculation of the cumulative team Range Factor for a position. This means players (pre-1956) have range factor per game and the team has range factor per nine innings listed.
* indicates Innings Played rather than Games Played was used in Range Factor (RnF) calculations. Team Totals for Innings Played are Innings Pitched by the team's pitchers.
