In addition to a lot of cycles, another "accomplishment" stat that seems to always be off to me is strikeouts in a game. It seems that after simming 100 years of history, I'd still have a fair number of 15 and 16 strikeout games dominating the leader list, and rarely if ever would someone get 17 or 18. And I don't think I've ever seen 19 or 20 that I can recall. I haven't seen a comprehensive list of the top 50 individual game strikeout performances in MLB, but I bet there are a few more 17 and 18 strikeout games than I've seen in OOTP - and certainly a few 19 and 20 that I never see in the game.

I haven't studied this in-depth, though. Maybe I'm missing it, or the averages are right on, or it's pretty much impossible to "force" a number of high strikeout games.
