As a baseball nerd, there's lots that I find interesting here.

1) Hal Newhouser destroyed in the war years

2) Ty Cobb was a beast

3) Cecil / Prince Fielder never appear on the list. Power-hitting first basemen are overrated.

4) An unknown pitcher named Justin Thompson delivered a season equivalent to Miggy's Triple Crown year. How? By pitching a respectable 3.02 ERA during the Steroid Era.

5) Mark Fidrych is the definition of a phenom.

6) Denny McLain only earned 7.4 WAR in his 31 win season from 1968. So many other pitchers were putting up ridiculous numbers that season too.
