I just finished a test run of my 1941 Pacific Coast League re-creation. I got some expected results (the Seattle Rainiers won the regular season with a 107-72 record (real life 104-70). However, the Los Angeles Angels finished second at 100-74 vs. the real life finish of 7th at 72-98. The Angels prevailed six games to two in the simulated championship series.

Other oddities--Dan Gutteridge of Sacramento (real life .309, 13 HR, 88 RBI) had a monster season, batting .458 with 356 hits, 47 homers, and 189 RBI. Somehow on the editor page I input the data wrong, or it got changed somehow as his "resulting stats" line shows he should hit 60 home runs and bat .440.

Paul Gregory of the Rainiers struck out only 20 batters in 307 innings pitched--it should have been more like 87 strikeouts. He wasn't a real-life strikeout threat but this was a bit low by any standards.

Jesse Flores of the Angels was an incredible 49-28 (12-15 in the real 1941), pitching an incredible 706 innings. Turns out I forgot to set pitching rotations for several teams, and as I had turned off injuries and reset everyone's fatigue before making the test Quick Start, the computer apparently just used the same pitchers over and over again because they never got tired. Flores started 78 games.

So--some things to fix, and lessons learned for my next simulation.
