When I say that it's off by about 15 percent, I'm looking at the simmed totals for the league in HR for a year and comparing to the Baseball Encyclopedia for the historical totals for that same season and league.

Do the league settings correlate with the historical numbers? In other words, if you looked at MLB in 1929 and copied down the AB, HR, etc. would it sim accurately or is there no correlation?

I assumed that the import from Lahman somehow set those first year modifiers. How are the default numbers generated for the first year?

My sims remained consistently low for HRs even after 30 years of simming. It never straightened out.

Yes, started in 1929 and continued through 1959.
