The Babe

So, I've run 2 simulations from 1901 -> 1973...

In both, I've turned on a traditional amateur draft so as to break up the traditional dynasties a bit. In each, Ruth has finished with between 540 - 570 homers. Gehrig and Mantle have both had significantly higher numbers (obvious reasons as injuries were not as impactful). Most other players are similar to IRL, most pitchers are less effective (i.e. less 300 game winners, etc). Just found this interesting... and maybe further proof on how unique Ruth truly was...
