Fictional leage started in '35, constant deadball era problem

[pastimesteve]

Hi! As a newbie to OOTP (just started OOTP12), I'm having a problem with my fictional league I'm hoping someone can help me with. I started a 12 team fictional league in 1935 using mostly parks from the MLB2010 The Show ballpark set. I have financials set to no free agency/reserve clause.

I have the league set up to use pitchers with 4 man rotations, low reliever usage and low closer usage.

I've auto-simmed 20 years and stats look fair EXCEPT for home runs. I've been in a perpetual deadball era since the league began, with the highest number of homers hit by a player in a single season being 17.

How do I fix this? Are there global statistical numbers I have to adjust? If so, how? Do I need the league set to go by just ratings and not statistics?

Thanks!
Steve

what are your league modifiers looking like? my SS below is of my fictional league in 2007 144 games and is comparable to MLB of the late70's/early80's
