An interesting question. I'm going to do some analysis and post the answers for you. Nothing jumped out at me originally, although Cy Young certainly hasn't been anywhere near as dominant in my replays as he was in real life (some injury problems along with limited run support). Another major thing that differs in my replay is that Bill Dineen did not move to the Red Sox from the Beaneaters-he was quite the stud for the Pilgrims/Red Sox in the early 1900's, with three consecutive 20-win seasons and he's doing very well with the Beaneaters in my replay. Haven't looked at the White Sox yet but as I said, I'll do a bunch of number crunching and post here!
ps: White Sox are doing quite well so far in my 1904 season (43-34) while the Red Sox continue to play poor baseball with a record of 31-46.
