In test #1, Quinton is there but Aydelott is not. In test #2, both are there. Aydelott has no RL stats for 1884. Quinton has his 1884 RL Eastern League stats, but not his RL major league stats.

Yeah. I get your frustration. I know the powers that be have said that the reason OOTP uses un-historical pre-1901 majors is (something along the lines of) "OOTP does not handle the numerous leagues and teams folding, starting up, etc." I don't doubt that there are issues that would need to be overcome, but the reality is that OOTP handles those
much-more-numerous leagues and teams changes with the minors just fine; I dare say
flawlessly. I think they try to do their best at maintaining the historical product, but it's a lower-priority than other things, and then the subset of "1800's historical" is even lower priority, unfortunately so, for those who really dig that era...
My suggestion would be to keep pushing, keep asking for little tweaks to make 1800's ball a little easier.
From my perspective, I'd simply like to see OOTP "break" the connection to / restriction of having a certain number of teams in two major leagues. Let us configure the teams.csv file any way we want, just like we can with the minors_teams.csv file. And then OOTP can keep in place that the initial year doesn't read from the teams.csv file. IOW, no changes to the initial year, but at least after that first year we can have realistic majors.
Just gotta keep on pushin'...
