Fascinating. Thank you for doing this. Definitely some significant differences.
By the way, seeing the names of these players (Sam Thompson, Dan Brouthers, Mike Tiernan, Hugh Duffy, etc.) brought back memories! The first computer baseball game I ever played was
MICRO LEAGUE BASEBALL in 1984. I had the GM disk and the
Baseball Encyclopaedia book. I manually created an entry in Micro League for every player I considered an MLB Great and saved the data on the GM floppy disk. In hindsight, I should not have included Alan Knicely's 1981 MLB season (4-7, 2HR). My brother drafted Knicely and no matter what I offered him, he wouldn't trade him to me.
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to do this. It will be interesting to hear what's behind the different numbers between 21 and 23 - because I've been thinking about starting a historical game.
