I am looking at putting together a league consisting of the best players for each team for the 50 year period from 1950 to 2000. I plan on using 1977 as my first year because it has all the team that have enough history and will then give me the basic structure and schedules. Given this I have a couple of questions.

1. When I import Willie Mays he will be 47 years old. How will the game deal with this? Do I edit his birth date so that he is 20 as he was when he debuted in 1951?

2. By the same token, when I import Alex Rodriguez, he will be only 2. Probably not much of a hitter at that age.

3. Do I leave the recalc on? If so, how will it deal with players that were not playing during the years in question? If I turn the recalc off, will some of these players not turn into the hall of famers that they actually became? I do not want this.

Any help will be appreciated.
