Injuries disabled, position player fatigue on high, 162 game seasons, neutral stats with 3-yr recalc, all ballparks set to neutral park factors. I put all the teams into a single league and used DH from 1973-2010.

I am coming back to OOTP after a few years away and I always focused on Historical play so thanks for this post as it gives me a great place to start as I setup my league.

Couple of questions:
~Do you normally play with no injuries or was it just for the purpose of testing your player totals against historical player totals?
~Do you think playing a single league impacted your results compared to if you would have played in 2 leagues?
~I saw your reply about what you did with the SP Endurance Modifier, do you feel like that setting really helped with the accurate results you got?
~Are there any other initial settings I should be aware of that I will need to adjust? I am not looking for a perfect replay of history, I just like the league to have the "feeling" of whatever time period I am playing (usually 1980s-2000s).
~Is player recalc along with player development turned on the way to go if I want to see player's develop somewhat as they did in real life while still allowing for the possibility of an anomaly here and there?

Any feedback would be great, thanks!
