Another thing on the plate. What was an average pitcher BABIP in the 70's? I understand .290-.300 is pretty average today. Not back in the day. And what does that mean?

I know the BA has gone up from .250 to about .270 since then. The BABIP too, then. I'm too tired today to wrap my head around the possible implications, or paths of exploration presented by that change. Maybe tomorrow.

But, if anyone has already looked at any of these factors, I'd appreciate the info. Otherwise, I'll post what I can dig up.
