Yeah, as somebody pointed out, I thought I'd get really bored (specifically of the deadball era) if I went straight through. So I found a way to randomly choose years from 1902 to 2021 and that's the order I'm using. Turns out three of the first five are still deadball era, but with 1991 and 1976 sprinkled in. The next 5 have no deadball era seasons...though just barely. 1921 is 6th on my list. But then it'll go to 2009, 1957, 1975, and 1970.
Just figured it would be more fun to have Albert Pujols, then Hank Aaron, then Joe Morgan, then Frank Robinson instead of...ugh, Joe Tinker
again. ...Which is being totally unfair to Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, Eddie Collins, Walter Johnson, Cy Young, etc. But I also wanted to have some nostalgia, and those guys are before my time.
