You have to remember the low sample sizes you get with the early years, which leads to things like a .305 BABIP. All it takes is for McMullen to go nuts one game and give up 47 runs (which actually happened in real life) to screw up the stats. Are you using the model with the two subleagues and eight teams? If so, I wouldn't pay any attention at all to the totals until 1876. But there are going to be some football scores in those National Association games. They actually happened, and the fact that you're getting them shows that the game is doing pretty well.
