I'm sure its been asked, and its something jcato certainly has considered, but why does CatoBase not calculate winshares for past years? It should have all the necessary stats at its finertips, so why if I start a historical season in 1941, as I just did, can it not calculate Win Shares for Ted Williams in 1939 and 1940 season? It wouldnt even have to calculate them every time, just do it once for every year that has reall been played and add it to the CatoBase database. Once you know Wagner's win shares in 1911, you don't need to recalcuate it.

I'd love for this to happen, because its unfair to see someone else leading in career win shares only because 5 years of DiMaggio's career hasn't been counted.
