This is the code I'm using and I'm a newbie so this is still a lil
challenging for me:

$numberquery = mysql_query("SELECT SUM(s.groundballs) AS grounders FROM
stats s LEFT JOIN rahs r ON s.name = r.name WHERE (s.position =
'$position')");

while($number=mysql_fetch_array($numberquery)){ 
  printf ("Total groundballs for $position: %s</font></td>",$number["grounders"]); 
}

Thanks!
