I am trying to re-create a fantasy league my friends and I used to play with APBA with OOTP. We all drafted our favorite baseball players of all time (1870's to present) and choose our favorite ballpark for home field, etc.

After several unsuccessful attempts to get this type of organization successfully loaded into OOTP, I "think" I am on the right track. However, I have noticed that many of the all time greats are being imported into OOTP with their ages as of 2006. For example, Babe Ruth is listed at 101. Some of the other players like Nap Lajoie or Cy Young are older. Even great players of baseball's Golden Era like Stan Musial or Willie Mays are in their 70's and 80's today. George Brett is in his 50's.

My question is, does the age of a player affect his performance in OOTP? Will a 50+ year old player like Mike Schmidt "play" the same as say, Jim Thome or Ryan Howard?

Or is there a method to import historical players so that they will perform "realistically?
