I'm thinking of running a historical/fictorical replay of MLB (haven't decided yet exactly which), and I have some questions. I'm not at all new to OOTP, but I've never run a historical replay myself, and I don't want to screw things up if the knowledge is out there to avoid it.

I was thinking of starting in 1871, and realized that many of the teams that were around then, are no longer around today. They've folded, and new teams have sprung up to replace them. If I remove a team, and replace it with a new team, will I mess up player/league history? If I move them team to the new city, then the history of the folded team will become the history of the new team, correct? I'd prefer to keep the team histories as they should be, but I don't want to lose anything by removing teams.

Also, if an entire league folds, can I remove the league and still see the history? For example, if I add the Federal League to my world, what do I do with it after the 2 years it existed?

Thanks!
