You need to move Dazzy to Ebbetts Field as his home park. Ever heard this story about him? Apparently, his release point in home games was right in front of where people across the street would hang out sheets to dry. Opposing hitters couldn't pick up the ball because of that and the fact that he'd cut and bleach his undershirt to the elbow. It's a great story that a few people have attempted to debunk, but it's awful hard to explain away his home-road splits on strikeouts: 1267 at home, 780 on the road. That's a lot of extra K's in the extra 640 batters he faced at home.
