There doesent appear to be many historical databases though, or am i not looking in the right place?

And as far as changing my name, i think ill keep it for now im quite proud of my rookie ball status
The basic historical database is one created by Sean Lahman, and can be found at www.baseball1.com. Be sure to download the comma-delimited (CSV) version, becuase the other versions won't work with OOTP. There are several other databases around, search for Gambo and Ankit, in particular, but they are all based on (or at least follow the format of) Lahman's.

If you want a place where you can just peruse baseball history without using OOTP, I would recommend www.baseball-reference.com.
