I grew up in the Golden Age of Baseball... the 40s and 50s.
Just 16 teams... only the league champions played in the World Series... no interleague play...no free agency.
Players stayed with their teams... it was easier to keep track of them... not like today, when it is wholesale musical chairs.
I knew the starting lineups of all 16 teams and all of the pitching rotations (4 starters, 3 relievers) for the American League and National League...also the Double A Southern Association... I lived in Mobile and New Orleans as a teenager and got to see a lot of the Bears and Pelicans games... even got to be a Mobile Bears ballboy in the right field bullpen for a couple of years in high school.
No, I don't auto-calculate... I use actionjackson's method of setting the modifiers... his system really works well... there are several great threads on this subject in the last two years or so.
