Big Thanks. Not using this as perscribed, but rather to flesh out the minors in a fictional replay (no historical players, just the league structure) of the MLB itself. I'd do the real mccoy, but god knows I'd break stuff trying to get those things in the readme to work every year. It's the fate that befell my poor United Baseball Federation earlier this week after all. So instead I'm starting in 1901 (technically 1903 when the Highlanders happen, but I play stats only so I need the 2 year headstart anyway) with the MLB and some fake minor league teams, both with historical uniforms now, which should scratch that itch for a fictional league well enough without me utterly trashing everything by mistake.

I do have a question, I'm assuming if a team "runs out" of uniforms it becomes stuck in time? Because there are a few that end in the 1950-1960s era that I wouldn't mind seeing become the "classic" jerseys like the IRL Yankees where the differences in jersey design become nearly imperceptible.

Edit: On second thought, I'm gonna give a run at it. Think I've figured this all out and counting uniforms is just irritating me more than the yearly hassle would. That said, I do have a question, I notice there aren't any lists as to who should be what minor team. Is there something I'm missing or was that never described?

Also how do I manage the seperate NL and AL before the 1903 series if I want combined records. Is it best to just convert the NL into MLB when the AL is created and have them as divisions?

Double Edit: Yeah did some checking and there's no way to do it post league creation looks like, so I'll just convert the NL to the MLB when the AL forms, just with no playoffs. And minors can't be combined after the fact either, so they'll just have to be unaffiliated affiliated minors, if that makes sense.
