This feature was suggested following discussions in the CW Forum, when forum member watson posted a thread discussing American evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould's theories on baseball batting averages and its applicability to Don Bradman's outlying average. In a nutshell, Gould posits that there are more better batters now but also that fielders and pitchers have improved, such that what was an achievable milestone some time ago (e.g. a .400 batting average, or "four hundred hitter") is not achieved, and that what was .400 before is now some lower value. That is, .400 is unlikely to be achieved again.
