Slugging percentage is calculated like batting average,
except that instead of dividing the number of hits by
the number of at-bats, you divide the number of bases
reached as a result of hitting the ball by the number
of at-bats (i.e. HR counts as 4, triple as 3, etc.).
I'm not sure if a walk counts as 1 or not.  Thus, the
highest slugging percentage one can have is 4.000.
