How does this effect the leaderboards ? Wont the players that start the league from the initial creation have wonky past stats ?

When you start a league, you have the option of importing history up to that point, or no league history. Lets say Im starting in 1903 (because thats where I usually start). I can either import with past history, which shows guys that are already retired like Hugh Duffy as leaders, or I can import with no history, with which guys like Willie Keeler lose all of their past career stats when it comes to the leaderboard (only shows stats accumulated in the new league), so they wont show up. I usually import past history, so I get the players in the leaderboards, but then I erase all league history, so it looks like a new league, but anyone that had past stats gets credit for those in the leaderboards

What Id like to do is modify the database and remove any player (and his stats) that did not play in 1903 or later BUT keep the pre-new league stats (1902 and earlier) for anyone that did play in 1903 or later. This would get rid of Duffy but keep Keeler and his past stats. Thats not a problem as I have the queries already done.

My question comes in with the players from 1903 (the year of the import). Wont they all have inflated stats, which would effect the accuracy of the leaderboards ?

It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.
