Roster Limits

That is the list historical roster limits and reserve limits. Usually a 15 man roster with 15 reserves no 25 or 40 man works well for me prior to 1910 when I go to the 25/40 with waivers like modern day.

Technically there were no roster limits prior to 1910, I think, but playing that way is not advised teams really stockpile. Also note if you add minors go to a high roster limit and move goes to the active roster before adding minors then you can reset rosters after. If not guys on the reserve roster disappear. They are still in the game but you can't access them.

I also play with reserve era rules even before the reserve. Since these were one year contracts I release all players first day of the offseason after I give awards, so the BB cards show a guy in uniform. When the reserve limit comes in it gets a little more work because you have manually cut all but 5 players you think a team would keep or what ever the reserve limit is for that year.

Also these were maximum limits and no minimum like there is modern baseball.
