1974 Import - 1 year recalc - INJ off

BABIP (points +/- league average)

real life vs. sim

Baltimore: -10 ....... +9
Oakland: -13 ....... -1
New York (A): +1 ....... -21
Los Angeles: -20 ...... -3
Atlanta: -15 ..... +3
Chicago (NL): +26 ...... -9
So in general there's a 20 point spread. That's an acceptable amount. If they all looked like Baltimore's, I'd think we were very close to getting it right.
