They GENERALLY they perform similar as in real life, but not always. i've never had Ruth hit .344 and hit 714 homers for a career, though he's always been well above average (.325 and 621 or so was best i can recall). Cy Young wins tons of games, but doesn't seem to dominate the league, though he seems to pitch forever, seldom getting hurt. Last sim i did in that era he played until 44.. Then, i've had Shoeless Joe Jackson lead the league in hitting 3 years in a row, nearing .400 a couple of times. Tris Speaker always seems to be good but not as great a hitter as he was in real life.

So, the players mostly are usually similar to real life, but not duplicates. i think they end up being a little less in the game than in real life, but ???? i haven't got anything written down to prove that suspicion.
