Any way to import teams (names, etc)?

[zonk84]

I'd like to start a fictional MLB league (real teams, logos, minor leagues names, etc -- but fictional players and personnel) -- but with year of say... 1996.

I'd like to let it run automatically for 10 years, then take over a team.

My goal is basically a Major Leagues dynasty with fictional players and coaches - but with a 10 year statistical background as point of reference.

I've got any number of 2006 leagues with this already set -- both with 'real' players and also templates with fictional players, but real teams, logos, parks, minors, etc.

I'm just trying to find out if there's someway I can import all the league and team names/setting, but start 10 years earlier without having to retype everything and reassign graphics, stadiums, park effects, yada, yada...

For 2006 fic leagues -- I just create new leagues and copy the players, scouts, and names files into the template *.lg folder.

However, in this case -- the starting year is causing me setup headaches (either corrupts or overwrites my 1996 starting year).

Am I pretty much stuck spending the night retyping?
