Using a program I designed, I simulated 25 games between dead-ball era stars and modern rosters. The Stars barnstormed randomly chosen teams; some were played twice, others none at all. There were errors and such, but I did not record them because I don't believe the fielding model was accurate, so just assume everyone performed defensively as expected. "QS" refers to a quality start, which I tweaked as at least 7 IP and no more than 2 ER. "SR" refers to solid relief, which I defined as: more than 1 IP and no ER, or 3 IP and no more than 1 ER.
Based on this info, who do you believe was the MVP?
