Very Interesting. Good job and thanks for creating this!

Although I don't usually do historical replay, I think I will give this a try sometime.

Before I ask a few questions about point #15, I will have to admit I don't own "The New Bill James Historical Abstract" (i should definitely cook up the money for a hardcover version) so I don't know the content of the book well. Please don't flame me for not reading the book first and then ask the questions here. Anyway, the questions are the following: Is the method meant to neturalize the effect of park factor? If it is so, can you expain how does the method manage to achieve this? Also, is the method meant to normalized the scoring environment between different years? So, by using this method, the league average scoring will always be (after adjustion) 790 runs per season, right?

Thanks in advance for answering my questions.
