Also, I tried 1 sim from 1901 with all of the default era settings the game imported, and Crawford had nearly 30 HRs. Is this unusual, or are the HR totals off for those of you simming from early 1900s?
I had the same; ideally, his pitching ratings need boosting a little once imported to avoid him getting dumped (having minors instead of just a reserve team also helps). I think 1918 is the year he pitched very little, so would be the time to switch him to a hitter and boost his ratings - not yet all the way, though, as he will hit 50HRs a couple of years too early.

edit: I've not had that HR issue, may just be a random blip.
