		In the latter, James calls Johnny Bench “the greatest catcher in baseball history”, yet a quick look at The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract shows that he rates Yogi Berra ahead of one of the main cogs in the Big Red Machine.
		Ivie was out of baseball four years later, having hit a grand total of 18 HR since James sang his praises.
		If Bench was already the "greatest catcher of all time" in 1980, he surely shouldn't cede that honor at a later date to someone who retired 25 years earlier unless, of course, one chooses to change his mind.

		Variations on the original idea have resulted in similarly structured leagues referred to as "fantasy baseball" and "statistical baseball" to differentiate them from the stricter rules and more traditional statistical categories of the original.
