Home runs seem to be the big difference. Even with a stat base from a more modern year or a steroid era year, home run totals remain low. The historical simulation accuracy for example shows even bumped up by 200%, it still stays low and you won't get league leaders much above 20 home runs over 162 games. But once guys like Ruth come in, the team totals and league leaders look relatively in line with what you'd expect from the stat base. I'd assume the way the players are rated in the database means that's probably the best I can do. My efforts to change just the home run totals/modifiers I've found either changed little or managed to completely break the entire stat base.

Yeah, you'll never be able to get these pre-1920 guys mashing because they simply weren't that sort of hitter.
