    I started with 1966 just to show the 2 years before 1968, the Year of the Pitcher. After 1968 they lowered the mound.

    Next season, the pitcher should pitch from a hole...

    The average number of runs per game for the 50 year span from 1969 to 2018 was 4.44 (or close to it).

    The all time high was 5.14 in 2000. Was that the peak of PED use? It was the year before Barry Bonds hit 73 homers.

    The biggest jumps are from 1976 to 1977 and from 1992 to 1993 (0.48 runs each time). Both were expansion years.

    Interestingly, the latest expansion year (1998) saw only a 0.02 increase...

    From 1972 to 1973 there was a jump of .52.

    That was the year Atlanta became the only team to ever have 3 players with 40 HR's. It's conceivable that had something to do with PED's.

    Tom House was on that team and later admitted to using PED's.

    Oh, Mr. Clarifier.

    Maybe Atlanta was the first team with 3 players with 40 home runs, but not the only team ever.

    Yeah, I wasn't sure about that.

    But technically, when I said they became the only team, that means they were the only team at that point in time. I didn't say they were still the only team.

    Re-read your sentence and decide if you still want to stand by that...

    I've re-read it and I stand by it. The statement is in the past sense. It's true that in 1973 the Braves were the only team to do it.

    It would be less ambiguous if it said 'the first team', of course.

    And it might also have been, as you put it, less ambiguous to not call them “the only team ever,” which really does negate your point since you didn’t say it between 1973 and 1996, when it stopped being true...

    I concede the point. I was too lazy to check if any teams had done it in later years.

    But just to drag this out a bit further...what if I said this:

    In 2004 the Red Sox became the only MLB team to ever win a best of 7 playoff series after trailing 3-0.

    Is that statement wrong?

    No. Because no one has done it since...

    I'm aware. But if someone does it this year, does that statement change from true to false?
