Dont know if anyone has tried this but i think this would work.
Basically change the 1871 historical league into a 1903 historical league
and then copy the players and teams
to a 1871 fictional league

Take all the players that debuted in 1871 and all their batting, pitching etc
and make a new database of just those players. Be sure to copy all the 1871 teams but delete one team so teams will be even when you import. Just put the players from the deleted team onto another team. Change the debut years to 1903. Make sure to adjust the years of a player's career stats from 1903. Import the league as 1903 historical league using ratings based on rest of career. Be sure to selct hold draft
Make a copy of the player.dat, team.dat and park.dat if you want the 1903 parks. Then create a fictional league that starts in 1871. Be sure to select hold draft.
Then replace the player, team, park files with the files from the 1903 historical league. You may have to change b-days before creating the historical league or after creating the fictional league.
