Park factor is NOT a factor in this test sim

I just checked my league files and I must say otherwise. No, the park factor is NOT a reason in the HR inflation here. All the park factors (for the ML team) have a (almost) linear spread ranging from 0.83/0.924~1.1 with 0.83 as the outliner. In any case, the average value of the whole league ends up being 1.00531 - which is consistent with the value that it should be. This means the league in its entirety is neutral park environment. So, the HR inflation has to come from somewhere else other than park factors.
