I think your numbers frankly are out of whack just as far the opposite way your opening statement says they were out of order to begin this experiment. You claim that Ruth of Mays only being a career leader with 600 or so HR's was too little then Ruth turns around and has 807 HR's. How is hitting 100 more homers than real life any better than hitting 100 less?

You mentioned Foxx and Greenburg not showing up when clearly they are on the list hitting44,45,46,47,49 and 51 Homers and it isn’t close enough to 56,57 58 or 59.

And did you not see Rudy York on the list with 43,45 and 49 homer seasons? His career high IRL was 34,those 3 seasons alone are 137 HR’s That’s nearly half of his RL 13 year total of 277!>>

Your numbers are just as skewed as the ones you’re trying to “Fix” they are just skewed in different Places, but imho this “experiment” isn’t making the stats more realistic it’s just redistributing them to other areas (ie Ruth having 8,50HR Seasons but Foxx and Greenburgh having none). Your basically trying to do the impossible here, your trying to make variables into constants and reproduce stats nearly exactly as they happened.

I commend you on your efforts

Good Luck!
