Where Hank Greenberg ranks on StatVault's all-time league-relative boards (park-unadjusted; 100 = league average that season).
Ranked against the single greatest era-translated seasons in every sport by z — robust standard deviations above Hank Greenberg's own era's positional peers, the one dominance measure comparable across the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB.
The season chip above measures Hank Greenberg'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.
