Last night I was at a Giants game and the new scoreboard had the following stats listed:
R (runs)
H (hits)
E (errors)
L (???)
What the heck does the L stand for???? My friends and I have been searching all over the Internet to try to figure this out!

Yes. I am a baseball expert and a Giants fan.
It does indeed stand for "Left on base".

Probably "runners Left on base". Can't recall that I've ever seen that on a park scoreboard before, but good for the Giants.

L is "left on base". That means if a runner is on base when the third out takes place and doesn't score. I noticed on the West Coast, San Diego and Los Angeles to be exact, they've added that to the traditional R-H-E on scoreboards.

Left on base, aka LOB.
It's yet another way to gauge the effectiveness of the offense, but in this use, it's a team stat. It can also be used as an individual stat.
Some of the info on the sites below may also help to answer some of your questions.

Left on base. Alot of scoreboards added it this year. All fox broadcasts have it at the end.

If it is on the box score, I assume it means Left on Base. Better abbreviated by LOB

Probably means left on base.Normally thay have an o and b after the L but I guess not.I've noticed they have that on a couple of scorebards.

I wpuld have to say that "L" means left on base. I'm pretty sure that's what it means.
