Career arc
Mountain Arc
The classic build → peak → decline arc — rose to a dominant peak, then faded. Peak 1930, 17 rated seasons.
Where Al Simmons ranks on StatVault's all-time league-relative boards (park-unadjusted; 100 = league average that season).
The season chip above measures Al Simmons's single best year. This measures the whole career: every rated season's standing against its own era's peers, summed. A season at the era median adds nothing and a below-median season subtracts — so this number is time spent above your era, not time served.
