re: Ted Williams Goat hitter

[quote]Oh let’s wait….. Ted Williams hit .401 for a season but hey that was 80 years ago…. Nobody has done it since…… if players are so much better now, why can’t anyone hit that????



Wilt Chamberlain rewrote the record books in 1962, averaging over 50 points and 25 rebounds per game and establishing himself as one of the most dominant players to ever grace the court. In terms of raw statistics, Wilt's '62 campaign is easily the greatest season ever.

Yet Wilt Chamberlain has been completely dismissed not only as GOAT, but even best center of all time. When you bring up his 100 points in a game it is quickly dismissed as the inferior competition of the time.

You are going back in time to try to make the same point, using the same yardstick. Good luck with that.
