While looking through a football box score I saw that there was a "TEAM" player listed in passing. What does that mean?

In college football, individual players are generally not penalized statistically for executing plays that sacrifice yardage or completions.

One example is a kneel down at the end of the game or a half.

Instead of those negative yards accumulating for the quarterback, a Team rush is given for minus 1 or 2 yards.

Similarly a Team incompletion can be accrued for passing when the ball is spiked to stop the clock.

These stats do not count against any specific player, but do need to be assessed for the cumulative totals.

Are there any players who will be making their World Series debuts this season after long careers?

Before the outcome of the Yankees-Angels series was known, there were plenty of American League Championship Series players who have never played in the World Series.

First of those would be New York's Alex Rodriguez, who has played in 2,166 regular season games over 16 years without appearing in the Fall Classic.

That is the second-highest game total among active players, behind Seattle's Ken Griffey Jr., who has 2,638 games in 21 seasons.

The Angels' Bobby Abreu has logged 1,951 games in 14 seasons without playing in the WS. His teammate Vladimir Guerrero, after toiling in Montreal for much of his career, would make his WS debut after 1,850 games and 14 seasons.

Torii Hunter has been a regular in the playoffs, but not the Series, playing 1,499 games in 13 seasons.

For the National League champion Phillies, Raul Ibanez is their longest-serving veteran, who has not played in the Series. His 14-year career has spanned 1,518 games with three teams, including a three-year stretch with the Royals from 2001-03.

If Griffey's career ends after the 2009 season, he'll finish as the player with the second-most games without a WS appearance.

Rafael Palmeiro, who played 2,831 games in 20 seasons, is the career leader, while Andre Dawson, who played in 2,627 games over 21 seasons, is third.

Hall of Famer Ernie Banks played his entire 19-year career with the Cubs before divisional play, making him the longest-serving player without a postseason appearance with 2,528 games.
