It seems the spirit is to give the exceptional player more of an opportunity to be exceptional. So, whomever the equivalent is of Ruth or Rickey is in that era, they have a chance of being more like their outlier self, versus being squeezed toward the mean. Or to give someone a chance to be Maris or Vince Coleman. Toad was that kind of outlier in strikeouts back in the day (looking at the irl 1887 leaderboard as I type). That's my initial takeaway. Thanks for running these.
