I suspect you may have already identified the problem. If rosters were at 28 players for the first month of the season and OOTP is at 25, then that will be a problem for historical lineups. Uecker was the team's third catcher, so he wouldn't crack OOTP's 25-man roster. The roster limit may have also shifted the starting rotation. Check your April 11 game and see if Carl Willey started. If not, then that would have pushed everyone else up a day.

I'm not sure what you can do about that. Evidently, OOTP can't track the historical roster rules, but maybe you can. I've never tried this, but you can set the roster limits to 28 initially and then manually change them to 25 a month into the season. I'm not even sure if that's possible, but it might be the only solution to this problem.
