Chris,

That could be hairy...but the more hairy thing is that the game seems to be hard-coded to expect two leagues. So during the one league period (from 1937-1949), you can import and it will put all the teams in one league. But then the game wont start because of there being an uneven number of teams in each "league" (8 in one league, none in the other). In fact, I would recommend starting any historical sim (at the earliest) in 1958. Many of the seasons from 1950-1957 have uneven teams in the Central and Pacific, and the historical import engine seems to hate uneven teams.

Mgom,

The players are all real players. I have a few sources of ni-gun (Japanese AAA) stats, but I haven't included them for a variety of reasons. It might be something to add for the future...but I just want to get this out first.
