And just to check, when I load that screen for "Game Era & Strategy" I see 3 options: "default modern era" and then the two years for each of the 2 teams selected.

the unique Historical Series feature allows the teams to play in a fashion that represents a selected year/era. This calculates the player ratings (normalized against each team’s specific year and then adjusted to the era) and sets up the league totals as well as the strategy settings, including rotation size and strategic tendencies. So, when you have the 1927 Yankees play against the 1996 Braves and select 1927 as the era, the Braves team will behave and perform as if it was 1927 as well.
Hmm I may be way off but the only possible interpretation to me is that the playing field is level to 1927. What do you see differently?
