OMGLOLOLOL THEY DIDN'T USE ERA OR BA BACK THEN LOLOLOL
Actually the only statistic that they used back in '69 that I'm aware of is a holdover from cricket called "average and over". Essentially it's runs per game, only you treat the decimal as a fraction. A guy who scored 14 times in 7 games would be "2 and zero", a guy who scored 11 times in 5 games would be "2 and 1" and so on. I want to say that batting average is one of the Henry Chadwick additions to the game like runs batted in but I'm not totally sure about that.
Anyway, it's really cool to see all the early, early baseball sims going on. It's the next best thing to leagues of the weird.
