I think we're talking in circles and essentially saying the same things otherwise.

Well, I kind of disagree with the fly ball rates going up. Fly ball rates almost never go up with age. Ground ball rates do. They didn't even keep track of fly ball and ground ball rates when DiMaggio was playing so I'm kind of confused about this point anyway.
