And to follow up on an issue I raised before OOTP9 came out regarding high-strikeout games...I have had a total of 25 games in which a pitcher struck out 15 or more batters, including only 1 18-K game and 2 17-K games.

I did the same thing with RonCo's settings, with one of skydog's league templates. I had 40 15 K games in a 100 year span. I have 11 500 hitters, 26 have 3,000 hits, only 8 300 game winners (tougher with modern settings), and 39 pitchers with 3,000 K's. I know it's hard to compare that to a real historical league, but that'll give you an idea of what a fictional league comes up with Skydog's league totals settings and RonCo's aging modifiers.
