Is this normal?

So I am simming my fictional game to get some league history before I take over a team and I noticed that one league (Nixon League), the top HR guy only hit like 26 homers, while the other league (Roosevelt League) HR leader hit like 40. This has happened for the last few seasons.

There is no DH in my league. Was just wondering if this normal or what.

Gotcha. Just weird seeing 23 homers being the league leader during the late 80s.
