The way I did it (for a 1901 league).
Edited all the .csv files so that every statistic was in the one year (in my case 1900). Then copied the entire file and pasted it again, changing all dates to 1901.
Took a full 20 minutes to alter the batting.csv files - split the file into two using a text editor, load each file in excel (or whatever) and change the years to 1900. Open up in text file, copy/paste back into original (overwriting real stats), then select all copy/paste, edit-replace 1900 to 1901...then repeat for everything else.
Start a 1901 historical league, altering league to setup 50 teams (I did 40 most populous states, plus 10 international sides) - then did inaugral draft (auto).
Drafting took just on 12 hours (from memory it was ~800 rounds, not entirely sure - that's 40,000 players how many major players have their been?)
Game was biased towards modern day players (Ruth was drafted in the 18th round).
