	To compute slugging percentage you give a weight of 4 to each
	homerun, 3 to each triple, 2 to each double and 1 to each single.
	Then you add them all up and divide the result by the number
	of at bats, getting the slugging percentage , i.e.


	slgg.% = 4*(#HR) + 3*(#3b) + 2*(#2b) + (#singles) )/(#at bats)

(Note: the max. value of the slugging perc. is 4.00, but you would have to
 hit them all out of the ball park.)
