L

L has 2 meanings
1. What does L stand for?

Losses

An acronym used to keep track of the amount of games a player or team has lost.

The acronym commonly appears as a sports statistic. In baseball, it is often used to measure a pitcher's success, which is unfair since a pitcher relies on his team to score runs for him in order to get the W and not the "L."

Example

He has 16 W and 5 L with an ERA of 2.60
Wow, that's pretty good!
