But the major leagues drew from a far larger population base in 1961, including the best blacks and hispanics available (thank goodness, Branch Rickey and the sheer heart and soul of Jackie Robinson!). Thus the talent level should have been significantly higher in 1961 despite expansion than in the Babe's time.
