ERA+ operates under the same principle as OPS+. An ERA+ above 100 is above league average. Conversely, an ERA+ below 100 is below league average. ERA+ also adjusts to the player's ballpark(s).

Three things jump out at me from these great lists. One, Radinsky was darn good for quite a few years. Second, Horlen had a couple of really good years. Third...who the heck is Batman? I collected baseball cards in 1966 and in all the years around it and never remember seeing that guy's card. Weird.
Oops. Latman. Never heard of the guy. Batman? hehehehe...that cracked me up.
Haha, you know at some point in his life he's said, "To the Latmobile!"
