More HBP data normalized to a 2430 game ie modern day schedule for the decade 2004-1995

This shows an average of 20 more HBP per year in the AL. That is 1 extra HBP every 121 games played. I'm confident that difference is insignificant statistically and does not support the claim,

that the numbers for hit batsmen are much higher in the AL ever since the DH
The data may be different for 1994-1972 but I've shown 2 decades of data showing no such evidence and can't be bothered to check further. Anyone who continues to make this bogus claim should go to BR and do the work themselves.
