As far as playing under the same format, Jackson had a 12 team AL format when he began. Of course MLB had a different format, every league evolves to create a better format. Todays league has 15 teams on both sides. There was no inter league play. You are correct, a much easier format in understanding opposing pitchers.
As far as playing more Post Season games, players need to perform well in order to have (Jackson) 318 Plate Appearances because of a 1.19 WPA or (Schwarber) 251 plate appearances with a 1.25 WPA. The Post Season isn’t about equality that WAR is based on. There is no equal opportunity measurements. Opportunities at this time of the year are created by producing in critical moments. It’s entirely different format that some player flourish and others flop !

Nobody said anything about WAR. You are the only one that keeps bringing it up. And you use it wrong, biggest example being you thinking it tells you who should bat lead off.
Reggie Jackson would be a hall of famer without his post season accolades. Kyle Schwarber only has his post season numbers. And last I knew, there's no "post season only" wing of the hall.
