Step-by-step, here's what I'm doing:

1) Game > Create New Game
2) Click "advanced mode"
3) Click "add historical major league" tab on left side of screen
4) selected "master.csv", set year to 1897.
5) It creates a league with two subleagues, one corresponding to the historic NL, one empty AL.

At that point, I'm stuck. The only things that pop up in the action tab are randomize cities, randomize nicknames or delete league.

Hopefully, there's something really simple I'm doing wrong.

Are you using the default master.csv or another database? In the default one, the AL should be full with eight teams.
