Minor Leagues

I would like to see an options to add a minor league team according to history, if playing historical. Sort of like team A has a AAA team, and team B has a AA team in 1921. Minor league teams come and go and get renamed.

It's a nice idea but largely impractical when one considers the minor leagues of earlier years. Some Major League clubs had large numbers of affiliates. In 1950, for example, the Brooklyn Dodgers had 22 minor league affiliates; the St. Louis Cardinals, 21; the New York Giants, 18.

Moreover, the number of minor league clubs affiliated with MLB organizations was only a fraction of the total number of minor league teams. In 1950, for example, there were 58 separate minor leagues with a total of 446 minor league teams, of which only 210 had links with Major League clubs.
