A small library of original baseball reading to go alongside the game. These are not generic player biographies: each piece opens the site's own data or formulas, shows what they produce, and names the limits.
The complete technical account: source tables, eligibility gates, exact card and season formulas, Negro League treatment, and the choices that are game mechanics rather than baseball claims.
A worked analysis of Pythagorean expectation, the weak-link penalty, and the disclosed top-end boost that makes the game's title achievable.
The exact offense and pitching inputs, a worked example, workload regression, and the boundary between an era adjustment and a time machine.
Ruth 1920, Williams 1941, Josh Gibson 1943, Bob Gibson 1968, Martínez 2000, and Bonds 2001—read through the game's actual outputs and uncertainties.
