It really was a different game and that needs to be kept in mind. OOTP is based on 1990's baseball and allowances have been made for early era play. All the allowances in the world won't make it totally realistic though, just a very good approximation.
And that's just the league games. The teams generally played as many exhibition games as they did league games, and many times used the same pitcher.

The only solution to this is the ability to manually reset fatigue in Commissioner mode. OOTP really can't adjust to these practices. Until that's enabled, go through the schedule and edit anytime a pitcher is scheduled to pitch three days in a four day stretch, which is the dividing line for fatigue.
