Yeesh. Well, I feel fairly comfortable eyeballing things if necessary. It just sucks that it seems to be necessary.

True enough. I always adjust pre-Ruth players to account for this. Especially in the 19th century, home runs were more indicative of speed than power (some parks didn't even HAVE fences you could hit balls over), and triples about half-and-half rather than almost all speed like more recent eras.

That's...oddly comforting, actually.
