All the development lab stuff turned off, as well as that draft combine thing. Minimum for players set to 1901. I fast simmed the league through history from 1947-2006. Cool thing is, my head didn't explode, my computer didn't stop working and in the end, it looks like Pre Calc is just another great option for playing this game.

Here are some of the league leaders.
Batting Average Al Simmons .332. Season leader Nap LaJoie .399
Runs Mickey Mantle 2371 Season best Lou Gehrig 147
Hits Nap Lajoie 4189 Season best 241 Nap Lajoie....happened in 1948, so injuries and fatigue were at low and moderate due to lack of players.
Doubles 970 Honus Wagner. Season best Hank Greenburg with 74
Triples Johnny Damon 159 Season best 29 Jeff Heath in 1948
Home Runs Hank Aaron 747. Aaron is 38 and still active. Season best Lou Gehrig with 66 in 2006. Prior to the roid years, the highest was 62 by Ken Griffey in 1987.
RBI Hank Aaron 2200. Season best 167 Lou Gehrig in 2006.
Stolen Bases Eddie Collins with 858. Collins is still active, but he's 41years old. Season best 85 by John McGraw
WAR Mickey Mantle 151.93 Season best Honus Wagner 13.29

Wins Walter Johnson 391 Season best Stan Coveleski and Greg Maddux with 29. Amazing thing is, Maddux got his 29 wins in 2002.
Losses Bert Blyleven 280 Season worst 24 by Larry Dierker.
Saves 461 by John Edelman Yeah, this ones flat out bizarre. Season best is 52 by Pat Neshek.
Strikeouts Walter Johnson with 5430. Season best Rube Waddell with 388
WAR Walter Johnson 146.40 Season best Greg Maddux 12.89

Nap Lajoie is the only 4000 hit guy. There are 24 players total with 3000 hits.

Aaron is the only player with 700+ home runs. There are 6 players with 600+ home runs. 12 with 500+. 30 with 400+

4 players have driven in 2000+ runs

4 pitchers have reached 300 wins. Walter Johnson with 391, Burt Blyleven 326, Curt Schilling with 308 and Warren Spahn with 304. 37 pitchers have 200+ wins.

Walter Johnson is the only member of the 5000 strikeout club. Rube Waddell and Bert Blyleven are the only members of the 4000 club. There are 19 members of the 3000 K club.

Pretty cool. Just another option one can use to play the game.

What were your fatigue settings?
