Having tried something similar myself I would inclined to suggest something between say early 70's and late 80's.
The real problem (if in fact it is a ;problem) is that baseball from 1950ish on is somewhat similar and prior to that not so much.
Even the excessive K rate lets change pitchers 8 times a game modern era has more in common with the 1950's than the 1950's have in common with the 1930's or earlier.
To be fair the 1930's and even the 1920's did use some of the same techniques in regard to the stopper or whatever as later eras but they generally employed their best pitchers in those roles as opposed to "That Guy", Generally speaking outside of that Firpo Marberry or Claude Jonnard or Fireman Murphy etc. they used their Grove's n Johnson;s n what not.
From following several of your previous post I realize I'm stating something that You already know but that's kinda where the problem is on the pitching end.
From a pure stat standpoint I'd say 1984 or 1987 may be the fairest across the board.
Overall Pitcher usage tends to be more a issue
If You cater to say the 1931 A's You tend to hurt the 98 Yankees (maybe) as they have "That guy" as opposed to "Grove" "Walberg" n "Earnshaw"
Outside of that I don't think anywhere between the 1950's n late 80's You can go wrong.
