dola,

I think that I immediately see the problem with the league numbers.

Rasnell - Unless I am reading your post wrong, your first year was 1929?

I was seeing the same problem starting in 1901. Numbers way off the first year, jumping wildly for a couple years, and then becoming more realistic.

The problem is caused by the first year league totals not being correct. OOTP is trying to adjust, but is over compensating when the first year deviates too far from historical totals. It takes a few years, but the totals eventually will become correct - usually by 1905 in my tests.

I adjusted the league total modifier for HRs from 1.000 to 0.800 for my 1901 tests. The 1901 number is better which leads to better numbers for 1902.
