If you start as a fictional league earlier and bring set for historical rookies, you can make the change in 1871 - there is not enough players in 1871 for more then a couple of teams. With previous versions i did fictional from 1860 until 'real players' enter. It will take a few test runs to make adjustments to league total modifiers to do the mix smoothly. You should also make adjustments to the nation & ethnicities files to eliminate the excessive amounts of latin ballplayers.

I usually start in 1860 with 8 teams playing 60 games, expand to 12 teams in late 1870's playing 90 games and expand to 16 teams in the late 1880's playing 140 games. I also stick to teams names that played in 1901.
