K: 276, 268, 244, 233, 221
IP: 264.1, 258.2, 258, 254
WHIP: 0.99, 1.01, 1.05, 1.06, 1.10

AVG: .342, .342, .337, .330, .330
HR: 40, 37, 37, 36, 36
RBI: 119, 114, 112, 111, 111
SB: 62, 62, 50, 44, 44

Despite these rather unremarkable numbers for league leaders in this given season, it's still possible to have a rare player come along and hit .400, steal 100, hit 60, have an ERA under 1.75, or strike out 320.

That looks perfect. That's actually pretty close to what I was getting with my crudely modified version of your original settings.

In 30 years I had mostly seasons like that with some extreme variations of one 52 homer season, one 160+ RBI season (different guy and season...), one .382 season, one 300+ strikeout season, and 7 or 8 sub 2.00 seasons. The key to all those numbers is that each one was a really special season over the course of 30 years. I like seeing someone competing for the Triple Crown or having an outside shot at .400 or 30 wins but it's only fun if it's super rare.

I think I'll stick with my latest 30 year sim that I did using my slapdash settings and just change them now to your 1.1 settings for the rest of the league history. That should work fine.

Great job.
