An idea but not really conclusive. Put him in the correct era and you still have players from other eras who will have different SB ratings from the historical players. You need correct era with all historical players.
Let's say you have a group of random players where the aggregate of their stolen base attempt rate is much less than in Henderson's era. The LTM file will bump up the attempts of all players to bring the attempt rate league wide up to what it is in the LTM file. Who knows exactly what it does but since it does something the output is suspect and not useful for analysis against historical.
