Jay: Ive read as much about that theory as I care to. I simply do not believe that the stats from the 19th century support the hypothesis. Specifically: 7 of the 8 lowest ERA pitchers are from the 20th century, as are two of the three highest. Additionally 4 of the 5 highest lifetime batters are from the 20th century, as are 6 of the 7 lowest.

So based on this information, I conclude that not everything which is in a book, is reliable.

Please feel free to refute or ignore my opinion - or even agree with it.
