Baseballs Best Decade Conklin Carroll by Conklin Carroll instant download after payment.

From the Foreword:

Could there be such a thing as a real golden age of baseball? It’s a subjective call, even with the wealth of statistics available for each decade. If you search any combination of “baseball” and “golden age” in Google, you’ll find someone claiming that each decade from the 1950s to the present as the real golden age of baseball – even someone making that claim for the war-depleted talent of the 1940s.

What I have tried to do here is to throw some statistical light on the matter of which decade best qualifies as baseball’s real golden age. If you’ve visited my Web site (www.1960sbaseball.com), you know clearly where I stand: that the 1960s, despite having the lowest combined batting average of any decade since 1920, represent the real golden age of baseball based on the combination of great pitchers dueling great hitters and 10 exciting seasons. But that’s just my opinion.

I have compiled decade-by-decade statistics in each of 4 performance categories: hitting, power hitting, pitching and the major leagues’ combined statistics. For the first three categories, you’ll find listed the top five players and teams for each decade. The combined statistics list the decades in order, both for totals and for designated averages. Why by decade? Because this approach does identify those players who demonstrated consistent excellence over an extended period of time, and generally eliminates players with one or two outstanding seasons only.

Which decade produced the “best” baseball, and best qualifies as baseball’s real golden age? Compare. Enjoy the memories.
