Thanks, that fixed it. I had not realized that you don't have to link Tournaments with Leagues. I started over with your instructions and created a brand new League from the Historical Exhibition teams, as you suggested. Very cool! Took me a few moments to realize that by doing it this way, you have to Load or Continue the "game" from the main screen in order to play the H.E. Tournament ballgames (instead of going into Historical Exhibition each time). It also took me a while to figure out that the Tournament stats appear as "Playoff" results. (You can probably tell I'm a novice with OOTP.)

On a side note, this was the first time I played a ballgame "at" the Polo Grounds. The unusual dimensions of the park made for some interesting visuals and play results, not the least of which was the Orioles' Davey Johnson (1969) hitting a go-ahead, 9th inning, bases loaded double over the head of the Giants' Mike Donlin (1904) that rolled all the way to the 487-foot sign in deep, recessed centerfield!
