CHICAGO: When a baseball announcer rattles off your favourite player's batting average with two outs and runners on first and third, he's not pulling that figure from the back of his mind.

Stats, which gathers data from sporting events around the world for more than 650 customers, says it has inked five deals this year worth a total of more than US$70mil (RM272.46mil). The most recent deal, a US$10mil (RM38.92mil) agreement announced last week, extended and expanded a relationship with a global broadcast and telecommunications conglomerate.
