For me, looking at a players stats is more interesting when they have gaps or seasons in which they missed chunks of play. Plus, why would Joe Blah ever even get a chance to play if it wasn't for injuries.

I ran some test seasons with historical transactions on since it turns off injuries and the results are not as good as with injuries on. I see 27 Ruth getting 40 homers and 61 Maris getting 47. Both played over 150 games.
I'm thinking it may be the case that without injuries they are facing better competition. Thats fine for an all time greats league. Im not sure if works as well for a career replay.
