Nobody got the right question, which is:
Who is Ichiro?

My reasoning was:

The bottom-right set of circles represents the numbers 1, 2, and 3. As each has been filled in, the "running total" is now 6. The next circle to the left was empty, which meant I didn't add a 4, 5, or 6. I added an 8 for the bottom-left, etc, ending with a 25, 26, and 27. Assuming I summed it up correctly, I got a total of 130 and guessed Rickey Henderson.

I picked the wrong guy with a symmetrical number associated with him.

I figured that 424 was a good guess.

[3] i was kind of idly thinking about hack wilson's 191, but that didn't seem right, and i didn't really have a methodology other than symmetry to go by.

5. For The Turnstiles

Oh, I see: 2 red, 6 green, and 2 yellow lit up.
Good thing I forgot to get my bet in last night.

On a better note, I'm now conversant on scoring systems for archery and target shooting.

7. For The Turnstiles

Me too. And skee-ball.

Blowgun target shooting use three concentric circles and are scored 3, 5, 7.

Don't bother trying to add them up.

I was thinking the middle digit was 0, so I guessed Willie Wilson (705 ABs).

Oh, by the way, Im So Blue still has the board. Only two choices left: What and Where for either 400 or 600.

12. Im So Blue

OK, I'll go with What and Where for 400.
