Again, this is because folks are doing something which the game wasn't explicitly intended to do, which is use minor leagues with a historical league.

Since historical leagues use the actual major league historical schedules by default, of course you're going to immediately run into problems with the schedules in your minor leagues because you're mixing completely different eras and schedule attributes.

Thus, you'd have to use some measure of historical minor league schedules that complement the major league historical schedules. No such historical minor league schedule files are available at present (though it is something I want to accomplish eventually but it involves a heck of a lot of research).

The above shows how even a small detail like the starting point of a schedule file can have a big impact on how the game operates...
