1, it should be a documented full season before we get to the games/ab/pa. Rate stats on a partial sample is interesting factoid but it’s not really valid. 2, it should be in the same general realm as the other leagues if it’s time. Football is what, 12-16, that’s fine for them because that’s what everyone was/is playing. It’s hard to compare 39 to 154 when that was the standard. It is not even remotely close, which is the issue. The difficulties of travel in the 19th century reduced their schedules too but even then it was a lot more than 39 games, and the different leagues played similar seasons of length for the most part.
