I can give you more, but here's the start, looking at the 8 fictional AL teams, with this list beginning in 1929 and going to 1935 (I've now gone 30 years):

HR/AB
233/45,230
825/46,100
553/45,216
708/45,010
611/44,736
693/44,877
802/45,476

Garlon, you would understand all of this a lot better but this seems to be a tremendous fluctuation. Also, I have no idea how all these numbers affect each other. Realize that clicking on the historical player creation and historical modifiers were adjusting the pcm and modifier numbers each year, too.

The real MLB boom years of the 1930s saw some big HR numbers, as you know. In this fictional league, only one player reached 30 in any given season in the 1930s.

Looking at real MLB league averages and ERAs and comparing to the simmed season results, the batting averages were pretty accurate throughout, but ERAs are about a full run too high in the sim results.
