I decided to start a new historical league starting in 1871.
I will be using ootp23 till 1901 and then convert to ootp24.
If the ootp24 database is fixed then i will of course convert sooner.
I will be using actual historical teams with the players that played for that team.
In some cases i've had to make a guess for a transaction date.
For example when a player leaves one team for a team that will be folding during the year.
I don't want to trade a player too soon and leave his old team with not enough players.
Nor do i want to wait too long to trade a player.
Not gonna do any good to trade a player to a team thats already folded.
I will be using the real starting pitcher for every game unless the pitcher is injured.
I am using as played schedules until around 1900.
Reason is that if i allow a team that folded to play a whole season then players on those teams may have
stats far different than history and they can effect the stats of other players.
Injuries are enough of a what if factor for me.
I dont expect historical stats to be exact as i would just read a book on baseball history
but i do like a player's performance to be in the ballpark of his real life model.
Sometimes a player's career will still take a left turn no matter what ballpark you put him in.

Some house rules i will be using.
If a team folded then that team is ineligible for postseason play.
I don't want a team that played 6 games winning the championship.
If more than 15 errors are made in a game then that game will be replayed.
Its just a personal taste.

In my previous replays involving 19th century players it was more of a challenge to get everything to work.
I think i am at a point now where it is not as much work as it once was and i can just enjoy the replay more.
At least i hope so.
