Missing Bats Throughout History
All this talk of defense and some of the other about Homer Baily got me thinking about who had the best seasons in allowing hits.
And when you look at it you have to break up the eras to get some context to each of the players seasons. Therefore I broke up the eras in this way. Code:
1876-1892 - Finding the Rules Era 1893-1900 - Syndicate Ball 1901-1919 - Dead Ball Era 1920-1941 - Ruth Era 1942-1945 - War Ball 1946-1960 - Gotham Era 1961-1968 - Expansion Wave 1 1969-1994 - Division Era 1995-2007 - Current ERA vs. the league average RSAA - Runs saved against average. It's the amount of runs that a pitcher saved vs. what an average pitcher would have allowed. 1876-1892 Code:
ERA H/9 BR/9 SO/9 BB/9 SO/BB 3.32 9.18 11.82 3.59 2.51 1.43 Code:
