It hasn't been logged as far as I know, except that it was a subsection of a previous complaint of mine that was fixed (namely, that teams were showing up as different franchises in the team list as well).

It wouldn't seem as bad if the game handled things consistently this way (though I still wouldn't like it). As it is, if you start in 1901 and move forward, the record books and everything else remember franchises correctly (e.g. the LA Dodgers record book will include Brooklyn Dodgers years), but if you start later, you get the Baseball Digest method.

It's particularly bad for teams like the Angels, who have changed their name a few times without changing their basic location.
