Daniel, thanks for the explanation of DMB's individual offensive stats. However, it's worth noting that the history of sacrifice flies is somewhat complicated.
From 1900-1907 there were no sacrifice flies.
From 1908-1925 scoring flies were counted as sacrifice hits along with sacrifice bunts.
From 1926-1930 any fly ball that advanced a baserunner, whether the runner scored or not, was counted as a sacrifice hit along with sacrifice bunts. That's one of the reasons that batting averages were so high during that period.
From 1931-1938 there were no sacrifice flies.
In 1939, scoring fly balls were counted as sacrifice hits along with sacrifice bunts.
From 1940-1953, there were no sacrifice flies. I should note that in the actual 1949 season that you're replaying there were, in fact, no sacrifice flies.
From 1954 to the present, run scoring fly outs were attributed by the specific and separate stat "sacrifice fly."
The DMB help section describes these rules in detail and the game itself has a drop-down that permits the player to set the sacrifice rule being used in any specific season replay.
