After copying the file, I opened my league up and it had all real ballpark names for the majors. The only thing I had to do was put the ballparks with the right teams. The 5 or 6 teams I checked all had the right picture and coordinates after simply changing the home ballpark. The only thing I did not check was the ball flight.
Yes, the game already has the right names without this mod. That's not the issue. The issue is using this mod with the 2009 MLB Setup that comes with the game.

The first problem is that you shouldn't have to assign the ballparks with the right teams. The parks.dat provided in the mod should take care of that. However, it would be easy to update the mod if that was the only issue.

The second problem is that even if you change the home ballpark for the teams, the changes don't "stick" for the reason stated above in the reply from Markus.

Hey, if someone can get it to work, that would be awesome, so I encourage folks to keep trying. Just remember that the trick is that this needs to work with the MLB 2009 option for it to be really useful.
