To make the performance meaningful, it should be weighted towards total appearance, PAs or IP, & defense & base running can be included.
In any small sample size random factors are MORE likely to be a factor than "clutch" play. And a more granular look would compare how they did with stats for the SAME years. What if a guy mostly made the PS when he was just starting &/or nearly washed up?

Agreed but the numbers for those stars is pretty representative.
I added some annual data in a later post. And I just posted about Joe DiMaggio having such a big disparity in almost all of his ten WS.
