I feel like I have the opposite problem. I started a random league in 1903. I started with fictional players to make it easy, then I have brought in via draft a mix of real-life and fictional players. I am now in the 1939 season, I noticed, once I got into the live ball era, that home runs in general were low even for "power hitters". As an example, Mickey Mantle is the all-time HR leader with 513, but the most he hit in a season was 42. The other thing I noticed was that fictional players come nowhere near as good as real players, especially as batters. I've attached the top 25 single season HRs, and all but a few are real, and a couple that aren't were manipulated via the editor screen
