No.
THAT doesn't make sense. Both leagues'
PLAYERS were playing against the highest competition
available to them (the players). Neither could play against the best of both, nor the worst of both, leagues' players. Post integration the lower caliber of players would have been removed (ideally) and we can only estimate the comparison of stats pre-integration.
Maybe you misunderstood my post or are reading something into my post that isn't there?
