The first position player that came to mind to compare with Foxx was Robin Yount, who made his real life major league debut as an 18 year old. Again, because I held the ammy draft in June, the player debuts a year ahead of real-life but as you can see he really struggled as a 17 year old.
In the sim, Yount had a decent career but not as good as he fared in real life.

I just wanted to post this player to make sure you understand that Jimmie Foxx's showing in this sim was an extremely rare event from what I have seen in testing. I agree with Ksyrup's thoughts that it really adds some uniqueness to the league.

Sorry to take so long responding. Had a busy couple of days at work.

HoJo led the majors in homeruns three times in his career including 1997 when he hit a career high 61 while enjoying the high altitude in Colorado. He also drove in 166 runners that season, the fifth highest alltime, en route to being named National League MVP. His 681 career homeruns rank 4th alltime. He is 6th in career rbi's with 1961. Johnson began his career with the Astros afer being drafted 11th overall in 1981. A clutch playoff performer, he won a World Series while with Houston and batted .325 with 9 homers and 37 rbi's in 39 career postseason games.
