1901-02 should probably feature 3-man rotations. Once the schedule was expanded to 154 games, that seems to be about the time that managers began to utilize the 4th pitcher. Also, I'd lower the one-run strategies (stealing, hit and runs, and sacrifices) to "normal" by the mid-20s, raise them back to "often" during the war years, and then dip hit and run and steals to "very rarely" from 1946 to around 1959 or 1960. The game of the 40s and the 50s was very station to station.
