For the 2B version, the league average for team pitching was a 4.09 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP while the league average for team hitting was a .261 BA and .383 slugging...22 guys hit over 30 HRs and 14 pitchers had an ERA under 3...of the 8 playoff teams, you had 3 modern teams, two from the 50s/60s, one from the 30s/40s, and two dead ballers...the World Series is between a dead baller team and a modern team...
So, I think there's more than one way to skin a cat here, which is what makes it fun : )
