I don't usually do historical solo leagues, but I figured I'd give it a try considering how easy it in now with OOTP8. I have a little question though: Why were so many ball players early in the 1900's named "Kid" and "Doc"? I played hockey with a guy we called Doc. It turns out, he was a doctor! I wonder about Kid Elberfeld and Docs Casey, Gessler, and Nance. Don't even get me started on the guys on my roster named Pop and Ducky.
