Here's a matchup I noticed on Fangraphs that's more intriguing than I would've guessed: Norm Cash and Robin Yount. What do a left-handed 60's 1B and a right-handed 80's SS/CF have in common? They both have a 10+ WAR season, and like most players not named Ruth/Williams/Bonds/Gehrig/etc., it's the only time they came close to it in their careers. What makes this interesting is that Yount's '82 season is viewed as a Hall of Famer at the height of his powers, whereas Cash's '61 is viewed as a crazy, corked-bat fueled fluke by a player who really wasn't all that much, but looking at the numbers, they're closer than you'd think. Yount's career advantage is mainly due to debuting younger. Not that that doesn't count for something, it sure does, but it's interesting that a 10 WAR season is almost sure to look like a huge outlier no matter who you are.

Link to all graphs is here. Also worth noting there is that both Yount and Cash had their huge seasons when they were 26.
