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.
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.

Great to see you back with a league starting in 1871 BaseballMan. I follow all your 19th century reports going back to 2016. I'm also using 23 for the 1898 season and look forward to seeing how your transition to 24 in 1901 goes. Really looking forward to this.
