That way, the '68 Tigers and '29 Athletics would be playing in the same field and not be effected by their respective eras. In addition to that, I used park factors to adjust the effects of each team's home park to the norm. The Era and Park Factor Adjustment calculations are too complicated for me to explain right now.
My set includes about 8 of the greatest negro league teams, 3 19th century teams, every World Series team (minus dynasty multiples, ie 75/76 reds) and other great teams of Baseball History.
This type of roster set would be a lot of fun to play with. They're not really intended for multiple seasons of play, but more for playing 1 season over and over again trying to win the championsip with different "great" teams.

I'm trying to do the same thing in my league and would love to know the dirty details of how you came to your Era and Park Factor Adjustment calculations. Can you share?
Thanks!
