Now that I've done this, some of the 1871-1920 stats are 'interesting'.

Ty Cobb has avoided a CEI so far, but currently has just a .272 career average. Cy Young retired in 1908 with a 273-238 record, a 3.77 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and no place in the hall. He did win a couple of, erm, Pitcher of the Year awards, but was in the minors (actually, reserves) from 1903, released 4 times and never got another day in the majors.

The hitting leaderboard is dominated by Otto Schomberg, who had a 25-year 1-team career giving him the lead in virtually every accumulated stat, though his averages weren't spectacular. His pitching equivalent was Hardie Henderson, who amassed a 560-553 record in 1117 starts, 1034 of them complete games, between 1883 and 1903. Ross Barnes had 11 MVP's in the first 12 seasons of the league. Cannon Titcomb had 6 POY's.
