### Examples

    # Post-season batting data
    # Requires care since intra-league playoffs have evolved since 1969
    # Simplest case: World Series

    require("dplyr")

    # Create a sub-data frame for modern World Series play
    ws <- BattingPost %>%
            filter(round == "WS" & yearID >= 1903) %>%
            mutate(BA = 0 + (AB > 0) * round(H/AB, 3),
                   TB = H + X2B + 2 * X3B + 3 * HR,
                   SA = 0 + (AB > 0) * round(TB/AB, 3),
                   PA = AB + BB + IBB + HBP + SH + SF,
                   OB = H + BB + IBB + HBP,
                   OBP = 0 + (AB > 0) * round(OB/PA, 3) )

    # Players with most appearances in the WS:
    ws %>% group_by(playerID) %>%
           summarise(appearances = n()) %>%
           arrange(desc(appearances)) %>%
           head(., 10)

    # Non-Yankees with most WS appearances
    ws %>% filter(teamID != "NYA") %>%
           group_by(playerID) %>%
           summarise(appearances = n()) %>%
           arrange(desc(appearances)) %>%
           head(., 10)

    # Top ten single WS batting averages ( >= 10 AB )
    ws %>% filter(AB > 10) %>%
           arrange(desc(BA)) %>%
           head(., 10)

    # Top ten slugging averages in a single WS
    ws %>% filter(AB > 10) %>%
      arrange(desc(SA)) %>%
      head(., 10)

    # Hitting stats for the 1946 St. Louis Cardinals, ordered by BA
