IP can not stand for Innings Pitched in this circumstance because the website is talking about the leaders for all time batting average..... Still I am confused as to the meaning of "100 decisions"...??

it is confusing and not the commonly understood abbreviations.
IP = innings played (per game) and
PA = plate appearances and
decisions = "the number team games that season divided by twelve rounded to the nearest integer"

IP means Innings Pitched. It is meant for a pitcher's stats, when saying how many innings they pitched in.
PA means Plate Apperances. It is how many times a baseball player has stepped up to the plate to bat.
A decision is what the outcome of a game is. Whether it is a win, a loss, postponed, or delay.

IP stands for Innings Pitched or Innings Played
PA stands for Plate Appearences
Decisions are either a win or a loss a combination of the two

IP is the ammount of innings a pitcher has pitched = innings pitched.
PA are the ammount of times a player has had an at bat = plate apperance, or at bats (ab)
decision= the result of a game (win or loss) thrown by a pitcher.
