This got me thinking. During WW II the drop in talent level in the majors was significant. Why didn't Stan Musial putting up crazy hitting stats like hit .440-.450 or drive in like 190 runs or something? I look at his 1943-44 seasons and they look no different than his other prime seasons. In fact he had better hitting seasons after WW II. Did the balata ball have something to do with this?
