players_at_bat_batting_stats help?

I'm trying to make myself a little Access database that will help me look at some splits for players. In order to do so, I need to get a better handle on what the fields represent in the players. Can anyone who knows help me with some of these questions?

  1. result - seems to be coded on a 1-9 scale, but I don't know what each number means. I assume each stands for an outcome (e.g., homerun, strikeout, etc.).
  2. sb/cs - do these fields show whether the batter stole/was caught when he got on base, or do they show what runners on base did while the batter was up?
  3. r - similarly, does this show whether the batter scored after reaching or whether someone scored during his ab?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
