The reason you don't hear any talk about an asterik is that MLB announced a number of years back that all official records would use the rules of the game at the time of the record. Thus, you don't hear much talk about an asterik since MLB will not even consider it. This isalso the reason that you saw the number .400 hitters jump, becuase there was a season or 2 where BBs were counted in BA, so essentially a player's BA and OBP were the same for those years.
