He never even struck out 100 times in a season.

Why would he strike out 189 times on average?

I know how ratings work, I see them with other players.

From my personal point of view most of them work great.

Some people like their virtual cards in mint condition.

It bugs me, though, when one of my players stats don't seem to make sense. How can you say looking at the numbers I've provided that Gehrig's make a lot of sense?

Obviously there are ratings and match-ups but these are at least a bit skewed. He's striking out 3x as often as he ever did in the Majors.

Many of today's sluggers are all-or-nothing, & management has generally come to accept strikeouts as not much worse than an out whereas they used to stress making contact. So this does not change the fact that Gehrig consistently made contact when he was at the plate.

He's #5 all-time in OBP at .447 ...his OBP is about .020 better than my team's. I only have, well I don't have any historically speaking, hitters on my team as great as him. That's all.
