I upped neither home runs nor park factors.

I plugged all my park factors into a spreadsheet, and the two most extreme for HRs are Colorado (1.275) and Iowa (.867), but the average of all HR park factors in 1.002, and the median is .993.

I did get some strange 500 HR guys, though: Dave Kramer and Dave Nelson. They were both 500 HR guys with OBPs around .300. I'm sure there are others like them, but I noticed them because they were in the HoF, although I promptly removed them.

I am using full minors and two feeder leagues, so perhaps that increases the likelihood of getting someone with a high Power?
