Most Balanced Year statistically

I'm curious about people's opinions as to what year or era had the most balanced baseball played. In other words, you had some good all around offenses (power and average) and some good all around pitching. Not the steroid era or the 1920's and not the Bob Gibson days of pitching dominance where baseball changed the rules to increase hitting. Thoughts? I'd like to use the player creation modifiers and league totals for a historical/fictional league in the works.

Wow, quite a range to choose from, depending on one's preferences. Looking at Baseball Almanac for about a .258 league BA and +/-140 HRs per team, I'd say either 1956, or 1975, or 1990. More strikeouts toward modern times, too.

Using the erastats.csv for yrs 1921-2013, normalize all counting stats (hits, Hrs, K's, GDP, etc...45 columns in all IIRC) then calc all columns avg and stddev, 1960 (I think, will look later) was the 'most' avg with 35 columns average witin +/- .5 stddev and the remaining 10 +/- between .5001 and 1.

again IIRC 1979 was second, and other top 5 were in the 70's and maybe 1 other in 50's/60's ........
