It’d be cool if they had the same scale
Too many similar colors, and way too cluttered to make it readable.
probably the least beautiful data I have **ever** seen.
Oof. National League class of ‘93 not looking so good.
Why does the width of this graph only take up like 20% of the image? There is tons of empty space on the left that isn’t mirrored on the right, so why didn’t you just extend the graph? You could also save a ton of room by listing each team by their three letter abbreviation, though I guess that could make things tougher for people who don’t know much about baseball.
Y’all the purpose of data presentation is not always to mediate the extraction of any specific piece of data you want access to—often the purpose is to show you the shape of data and give you a feel, which this does perfectly well especially regarding the White Sox.
