this is tangential, but that's what makes the world go round. john, i'm interested in the first half of that statement. do you also include folks like ted williams missing time due to war in that? how about someone like grove who was blocked in the "lesser" minor leagues for forces beyond his control? do you credit them for that or prefer to stick to major league statistics on record?
just genuinely (or maybe disingenuously
) curious.
