Sandy Koufax headlines the 1960s at a 97 overall. The engine assembles a complete lineup — an ace, the full batting order, up-the-middle defense and outfield power — from across the era's teams, then plays out all 162 games. Their 159–3 projection captures an era-defining core, measured on the same era-adjusted scale as every other decade so the comparison is fair.
