i tried it back in v 19 .... when the minors appears and disappear got to be too much work for me to keep track of ... almost needed a cheat sheet beside the game. maybe i was just too lazy to follow the reality of minors folding or changing locations all the time. But i kept losing prospects when i wasn't aware of a minor league team folding - So i eventually just turned off auto expansion while i ran the rest of that configuration, which really didn't last all that long. anyway .... when you hit the last 30's and 1940ish - there are LOTS of minor leagues for almost all the teams. The game does get somewhat bloated. As you, i keep no box scores and no messages after the season ends. The computer i had then was somewhat old and very slow, which may have been part of the problem as well. i did purge the data base a couple of times, but that messed with my retired numbers and hall of fame personnel links. purging is a good tool to cut down on some of the bloat, but it does have side affects.
