I dont think you should change league totals after one season but i dont think you can have stats close to MLB using the same league totals for every year. I beleive you will eventually have to change them because you will have too many players that can hit the 50 homers.

Like in real life where changes in baseball took place because of schedules, expansion, better talented players etc.

Even though i dont know what year you started i dont think using one league total settings will give good results but i could be wrong.
I think its best to keep an eye on your totals and every time they seem to get too wacky in one category run some test seasons till you get the stats back to the way you like. But i wouldnt do it just after one season unless its just way out of wack.
Maybe you could make a house rule of the limit a total can get either high or low before you make a change. I wouldnt consider this breaking your house rules because the whole league has to play under the same totals.
Now if you changed the totals to lower hr's because you dont have many hr hitters, that would be different.

But overall i just dont think one set of totals will give good results through the entire history of your league.
