I know hitting 60 is a marvelous feat but I feel like there should be a few more hitting 60 in that time frame and maybe a 70+ home run hitter. Well my question is, is there anyway to create more outliers? I would like to imagine more super stars in the league.

Well in reality Maris was the only guy to eclipse 60 from 1930 forward until the juicers fully established themselves. So I feel like your league settings are working as designed. Even still, it only happened 6 more times after that. However, that is not what you asked so here are a few ways you could alter things.
You could always edit certain players in the power department to create some super sluggers. However, that may break immersion as you will know who these sluggers are. With that in mind under game settings you can visit the players tab and alter the batting power (or anything else) of newly created players that enter your world. You could also go to the stats & AI tab and alter the modifier for home runs. This would effect the entire universe in general.
In closing I should note that messing with either of the modifiers mentioned may cause an unbalance that you do not like in other areas of your game world. I would run a seperate test league experimenting with different modifiers until you find your sweet spot and importing them to your main game. Tread with caution and good luck!
