Historical Lineups

Does anyone know a resource for historical team lineups? I know baseball-reference.com has them starting in the mid 1950s but what about earlier?

Thank you!

I'd tell you how excited I am but this is a family message board.

How do you "import" the historical lineups into OOTP?

There is no way that I know nor have heard of to import these. You have to deal with them manually.

Also, if you are planning on playing/simming more than one year, you will need to be sure and not allow the AI to make trades. Otherwise, they may trade away a starter.

Of course, you also have the issue of real life trades that would affect future lineups (even during the season) that you will have to deal with.

Just a couple of thoughts and alerts.
