The league totals appear to be almost exactly in line with the 1977 stats that you posted: the two leagues combined for a slash line of .265/ .329/ .402./ .731 OPS with a 4.07 overall ERA.

Awesome on the league wide stats thing. I can't remember how I stumbled across that or if somebody else did the stumbling and relayed the info to me. Might've been David Watts actually, but my memory of it is kinda fuzzy. Whatever the case may be, I'm just glad we have a way of getting the type of stats output that we want. I love avoiding deadball and bazookaball with numbers that feel a lot more balanced to me.
