Hardie Henderson, playing for the Baltimore Orioles, went on a rampage and struck out 839 batters in 57 games. He had a 34-22 record and allowed 255 hits in 511.0 ip

But thats not all, meanwhile in the National League:

Allie Reynolds, for the Chicago White Stockings, also struck 829 batters, having a pitched 522.0, compling a 36-20 record, allowing 239 hits.

WOW, I thought this was a bit over the top, it was interesting, there was one game, that I believe Reynolds struck 30, winning 6-2 allowing 9 hits. I dont keep box scores so I cant give more details, but this is some insane stuff.

Anyone have similar examples?

Love this game

It looks like you have the random debut option. That is probably the reason for the inflated numbers. I believe it takes away from the realism if you use the real guys that way. But to each his own, its your game play it the way you want to.
