Most storylines that are clearly tied to a particular era are tagged so that they won't be triggered until that era. So, as Matt mentioned, you shouldn't be getting storylines about players appearing in TV commercials until the advent of television in the 1950s, at the earliest. I think there has been a conscious effort recently to eliminate anachronistic storylines.

There are, however, a bunch of storylines that don't have era-tags but that are still not very appropriate for earlier eras. For instance, I was playing an 1871 league recently and a storyline appeared saying that a player had been injured while circuit training. Players undoubtedly got injured while training in the 1870s, but I'm pretty confident they weren't involved in circuit training. So those sorts of anachronisms still slip in once in a while. Whether you want to turn on storylines for historical leagues depends on your willingness to tolerate these slight errors.
