I ran a simulation that was slightly different. I took the standard AROD database, starting at 1901, removed the histories of the players, and decided to not expand the league, so the original teams in 1901 are still intact in 2020. I also disabled free agency for the entire run. What I ended up with was very interesting.
Pitchers did not dominate in this league. This is evidenced by the fact that only 8 pitchers made it into the HOF. This is compared to 67 position players making it to the Hall.
The Babe still dominated the offensive categories of HR and Slugging percentage. Fifteen players hit at least 500 homers, and 13 players had 3000 hits.
Only four pitchers had 3000 strikeouts, and no one had 300 wins! Two pitchers had over 300 complete games and two players had more than 70 shutouts.
The St. Louis Cardinals made it to the World Series 21 times, winning 14 of them. The Red Sox were 3 for 10 in the WS, and the Brooklyn Dodgers were 9 of 18. The White Sox won 3 times, but never made it to the WS after 1951. The Cubs didn't make it to the championship after 1967, but won 5 times out of 7 tries before then. The Yankees were fairly terrible, only winning 3 of their 5 tries in 118 years. The Washington Senators, a symbol of futility IRL, were as dominant as the Cardinals, winning 14 of 22 World Series championships.
