Until about 1980 there were 8 basic stats on the back of baseball cards. In 1976 I created a tournament among the TSN all-time all-stars – I picked what years I thought were the best years for Ruth(1927) Williams (1941) Cobb (1911) etc… and had them compete. I remember who won - Rogers Hornsby 1922 -I decided to recreate the tournament and expand it to see if Rogers Hornsby 1922 season will still win.
Hank Aaron 1959 vs. Ernie Banks 1958
Aaron had so many consistent years – I went with his highest batting average year
