In any case, don't forget about the leagues. You start with the NA, then that folds. The NL is then created. The AA comes along in 1882 but then folds after 1891 leaving only one league again. Then the AL comes along in 1901 and it's back to two leagues.

Simple and none of that is problem. Just change all NA, UA, PL team abbreviations to NL. Change AA to AL teams. Do the same for batting, pitching and fielding. U have to disable playoffs or all-star game at times but those didnt exist much back then anyway.
Its easier to leave AA by itself because of the odd number of teams. Just put the UA, PL in a western division of the NL. The NA can just be renamed as the NL or as the NL all together.
Of course UA, PL schedules would have to be combined with NL. But your as played schedules really help imo keeping a league accurate. Its just having automatic transactions would really make it easier on 19th century play as you could concentrate on other things like league settings.
