definitely look into all the settings and such... who knows?

i think modern mlb 2015 was 4400-4600 HR in the league total?? load up a different year and compare totals if you want to know if they are low-balling you compared to what you want.

the steroid era really exagerrated people's perceptions. look up how long between 50HR seasons when Cecil Fielder did it in the early 90-92ish ... exact year is escaping me. it was a very long time.

anecdotal stuff is not proof. talking about one player or a specific year won't help much. but cecil and the next example might shift the range of expectations a bit... in a very loose way.

with that said, lol..... check out hank aaron... 755hr but never hit more than 47. only hit 40 or more a handful of times out of 22-23 years or so -- way more than most. it doesn't prove anything, but it shows that one of the greatest hr hitters of all time only once was wthing a few hr of 50 for a season.

In one year of babe ruth's career, didn't he hit more hr than A) hist entire team, or B) the entire AL? i can't remember the tidbit completely.

i do think players are a bit stronger now, in addition to equipment changes. "traditional" thought held back on serious weight training for decades especially for pitchers... not so much anymore. people wised up to the benefits. but, they also swing at EVERYTHING now.... lol it's like watching little leaguers out there having a fit at the plate sometimes.

for most of that time average height has increased up until the last decade or two (thank processed foods for that)... so players are mostly bigger and stronger than the first half of 1900's.
