Plate appearances that do not count as at bats include walks, hit-by-pitches, sacrifices, etc. Here's one last example: Albert Pujols gets 35 hits in 113 at bats in May, so his batting average would be calculated as 35 divided by 113, which is .310 for the month of May.

A flyer can be something or someone that flies on a plane, but another meaning is a handbill or advertising sheet handed out to people on the street. Because it's designed to go far, it gained the name flyer. As far back as the 15th Century, Middle English used the word flyer to refer to something that travels quickly through the air, generally a bird or projectile. The connection with a person came about later, when air travel became more common.
