I LOVE this stuff ... I'm already working on some fun formulas to evaluate seasons/careers ... very cool.

Some favorites ---

What is the best pitching season of all time? (factor in the league's averages that year )

Same thing for hitting (i.e., 70 HR's in 2003 is not as impressive as 50 HR's in 1986)

What if Ted Williams didn't loose 5 full years in his prime to serve in wars? (probably 650+ HR's, #1 all time in walks & runs scored)

Why the hell isn't Jim Rice in the hall of fame !!??? (you guys can tell I'm from Boston, right?)

Is OPS (on-base pct + slugging pct) the best way to evaluate a hitter?

so much fun .... !!!!!!!
