You're going to have to turn you picher aging speed down from 1.000 that's for sure or it's 30 and out. I cut mine in half ( .500 ) after noticing this and pitchers are now creeping into their mid thirties at this point. I still have another decade to go to see if this number is too low, ie. pitchers going too far into their 40's.

Lahman's seems to be spot on as long as you set the game to automatically adjust league total modifiers after each season for historical accuracy. (just put a check in that box).

The player reports ie. Hall of famers and retirees continue to age and i'm not too fond of that. Cy Young retired at 38 and his report now reads 54 years old. Maybe these guys eventually die and it stops lol

Also you're going to have to edit Ruth after 1919 as he comes in as a pitcher. I found some good numbers for him that are close. My league homeruns Ruth (actual in bold) 1919- 21 29, 1920- 43 54, 1921- 42 59, 1922- 65 35 total after 4 years 171 177

I followed Tiger Fans idea to start; 22 man roster, 30 man expanded, and 50 man(40 man) roster with player creation modifiers at .100 and checked the create and maintain hidden players box so origional fictional players will suck, and over time will be phased out by all real players.

With the built in CATO like features you're sure to love creating your own historical universe. The rest you're going to have to dive in and get used to it. I'm having a blast !
