Also, sometimes when there is no data for a stat (such as GIDP) it is left blank, but sometimes the value is 0.00. Those should probably all be blanks.

The PA (and anything else not a slash stat) jump up by about 50% in 1914 and 1915, which just happens to be the years for the Federal League. I suspect the stats for FL players are being included in the numerator but the FL games played are not being included in the denominator.

Offense usually picks up in the summer, no? You might (or might not) reach some different conclusions if you compare 2009 so far to other years through early May.

And 7.4 RPG in 1894 -- that's the total per team, not for both teams like the most of the table seems to show. I think there's a bunch of screw calculations in there.

Some of the numbers in that table appear to be screwed up. 18 runs per game in 1890? And look how the PA per game suddenly jump up, seemingly in correlation with expansions.
