I do think that the difficulty of running a historical league is balancing sim length against the desire to both 1) experience all the eras that you'll pass through while 2) ensuring that you'll still be on this earth by the time you sim yourself there

Simming too fast doesn't allow you the opportunity to enjoy the careers of individual players, while simming too slow doesn't allow you to get to the next generation of players.

However, I do think that there's a sweet spot in there for sim times. It helps to populate the owners with a love for baseball across eras who can enjoy the ride without getting bored or disconnect from their team waiting for the year that Mantle or Mays debuts.
