Set historical expansion. Disable draft. Set teams to have historical rookies.
If playing with a normal or higher injury setting there sometimes is a problem the first few years having enough minor league players to cover injuries. To help with this import entire history. This gets you players who played in MLB before and after 1980 but not in 1980.
If you don't want there to be any record of baseball existing before 1980 go the the league functions page and select everything to do with erasing history. This will erase all player and team records while leaving the players described in the game.
The players will show up as free agents. You can leave them that way for anyone to sign if you like. I assign them to their correct organization based on BR transactions.
I think that about does it. If there's something I missed one of the other historical players will know.
