Remember, you're only picking each a "single-season" for each player, not a career.

Any idea how the sim looks at different eras?
Is a guy from the 19th century going to have his stats looked at differently?
Thats exactly what I was about to ask....anybody know the answer??
I was going to keep this under wraps, but if you take a look at some of the WhatIf ratings, I think the pitching is completely out of whack. Guys from way back with their insane statistics are valued much higher than pitching stars of our era.
The hitting is more balanced.
Yeah, all of the top pitchers are from 1880-1900.

That is why Gehrig in 1927 would also have to be part of that discussion as well.

Which isn't even the best single season performance of all time IMO. There are a couple other lesser-known players that killed it for a year or two and didn't have nearly as good overall careers.

Didnt say it was the best of all time but I would say that its absolutely top 5 all time for a single year. Dont know too many that combine a .373 BA with 175 rbi.

I was going to go with someone else. But I learned my lesson already in the NBA All Time Draft...I think...

LOL. What lesson do you mean?
FWIW, I think Johnson's a great pick any way you slice it. He's considered by many baseball historians to be the best pitcher ever. That's who I was gonna take.

I never did any research on Whatifsports prior to All Time NBA Draft. As you can tell my team stinks.
After some research prior to this Draft I think I will be in better shape.
Robert Parish 1st pick, wow that was almost as awful as the Dirk pick. Oh well....live and learn.
