1981 - with the new patch

San Francisco Mets (Champions of a fictional league)
This is a new league following the exact steps above, using the in-game database.

Solid defensive team.

After one season within the historical league that has recalc on:

Here's Myles Moore, last season's CF with the 10 range, no longer with any team. The same thing happened to all of those OF's. Only Hu remains on the team even though he can't play defense anymore. Infielders are not reduced to zero but all seem to move to 5's across the board (see Meza below or Stan Bradley. Catchers become 0's. All players that still display solid ratings are historical 'real' players. No players have their hittings skills effected.

When fictional players are placed within a historical setting that has recalc on, their defense self destructs on the first recalc. Maybe they are simply not allowed to be in that environment?

But then that means you can't really put the 'real' Babe Ruth up against fictional players?

The following season I did the same thing, but shut recalc off in the historical league. The Athletics were the new fictional team that entered the league through promotion.

Following a full season with recalc off, all players remain in good shape and can play within the league just fine. Maldonado & Emery are two fictional players that stand out.
