“baseball has established minimum plate appearances for career stats, so Ty Cobb would still be #1 as those players wouldn’t qualify. You’re disqualifying colleges like BYU because you don’t think they belong in the conversation, which is a subjective evaluation on your part.”
Baseball is obviously disqualifying the Moonlight Grahams because they think (correctly and subjectively) that they don’t belong in the same conversation with Ty Cobb. Which is a common statistical technique – used to eliminate junk data.
For purpose of discussing yields of top colleges, there’s dozens of obvious screens we could all agree on to eliminate the noise/junk of BYU and UNL from this discussion. Sheesh!!
