Woah! These numbers are definitely worth looking at, but as you suggest, this is in a 140M league with no SPs costing over 1M and no RP above .85M. All parks are bomber parks. Top 12 BAs range between .481 and .451. Top individual season hit totals range between 384 and 326. Best ERA for a pitcher is 10.17. The #12 SP has an ERA of 14.78!
And in a way, it shows again just how amazing Dimag's achievement really was. Even in this crazy environment, only two all-time great hitters could top him. This environment also shows why a pitcher achieving a 4.50 ERA in a 200M league is doing really great. The hitters in a 200M league are at the same level, most of the parks are hitter friendly, and even a pitcher with no hits on his card is going to give up a bunch of runs.
