In 1932, the Brooklyn Robins changed their name to the Brooklyn Dodgers. I tried to set up everything to be historic, including expansion, etc.

Will the game make the team name change automatically?

If not, will it mess up anything if I manually edited the team name? I want to maintain the Brooklyn Robins team franchise history and that of its GM.

I'm pretty sure that the historical database is looking for files something like BRO and the change makes no difference.

What do you advise on sticking with history as closely as possible?
