In baseball, GB means that there was a ground ball. You don't usually see that symbol too much unless you're scoring the game as it progresses.

GB = games behind.
If Team A is 100-62 and Team B is 90-72, then Team B finished 10 GB.
It is *not* a ground ball...if one keeps a box score, then ground balls are merely noted as G, not GB.

Games Behind (how many games behind a team is that they would need to win to be first in their division). This question is under BASEBALL, people. Or it could mean ground ball also..it depends where it's used.

Games Behind, assuming you mean the standings. You get a half-game for a win and lose a half-game with a loss. The rest comes from how the team ahead of you does.

well gb is usually use while your scoring and refers to groundball. since you have it capitalized there im suggesting you got it from the newspaper or online. in that case it means games back. the team in first place usually has looks like this --, depending on each of the number of games played a team can be a certain number of games ahead or a certain half number of games ahead. a half game means that one team has played one game less or more than the other team.

It means ground ball (during games) or games back (if it appears in the league standings).
No wonder your avatar looks so sad.
Your baseball-challenged ! : )

Yes, it does mean "ground ball," but only one in fair play (for dummies that means inside the playing field) which either leads to an out or a hit.
