However, it was only recently that a thought occurred to me. So I set off on an adventure of re-grading and re-rating every card from that set based on an elaborate set of equations using the card data.
I entered every result of every card into a spreadsheet, weighting them by their plate appearances that season and I couldn’t find any way that strikeout totals would come anywhere close to historically accurate.
Only 6 of the 32 NL starting pitchers have a (Y), while none of the 32 American League pitchers have a strikeout rating. I tried to do it once and quickly found something was amiss with the cards.įor example, of the 32 pitchers who are members of the 4-man rotations in the National League, 29 have a (Z) and 1 has a (W). I have a long, horrible history with this project. I’ve dove back into a replay of the 1901 season using APBA Baseball.
