I feel that most performed as expected, a few were on the leader boards for a few seasons -and some were always in the top 25, but rarely were at the top year after year. I feared there would be alot of 50 HR & 300+ K seasons but their wasnt.

It was also nice seeing some players getting complete careers (dean, williams, dimaggio), but a few went down early with CEI.
