I completely agree, but we're talking about 1930...25 point swings in BA would lead to several players hitting near .420...also, as baseball fans we definitely revere many of the "magic" numbers...if the real-life batting champ hit .335, and several players in a replay hit around .360, we probably wouldn't notice it as much, since .400 is, well, .400!
