Rasnell, do not disable the automatic historical modifiers. Keeping things at 1.0 will give you very poor results after a few seasons. Even using my 5yr average file you cannot keep the modifiers at 1.00, they still need to be recalculated each season because you will always be slightly over or under the expectancy...the modifiers correct for this to keep things on track. Your league will end up completely out of whack after a few seasons. If you ran that simulation into the 1950's with 1.00 as the modifiers you will have guys hitting over 80 hrs per season.

It sounds to me like the problems you were having were that some of the top HR hitters were just getting injured. Keep in mind that league leaders do not tell the whole story either, the entire league HR% should be very close to the historical ratio as well, not to mention all the other batting categories. Modifiers keep all of the stat categories in check.
