I had to adjust league totals for HRs way down because 5 players hit over 60 in 1996 because of these 2 players shifting the curve up. Ruth's high for K's was 160 in 1999 though, so I haven't seen that issue.

1992 is as far as I will go in a random debut league that I'm not simply fast simming for results. My current random debut started in 1946 and is up to 1973. The top home run total for a season is 58 by Hank Aaron. Want to say he hit the 58 in either 50 or 51. I've had a handful of player reach 50 over the years. 1977 is approaching. 1972 was Mark McGwire's rookie season, so he should be right in his prime when 77 rolls around, giving him ample opportunity to be the leagues first 60 home run guy.
