comparing how many HRs a deadball era pitchers gave up is about silliest thing I've ever heard of. H+BB/9 is a much more meaningful comparison. Giving up HRs in the deadball era is about as meaningless as it gets.

Find a copy of Thorn and Palmer's Hidden Game of Baseball. This gives is a great, detailed explanation of both park factor and relative (adjusted) era.
