I'm using fictional players except Jim Creighton - that was a unique circumstance involving the fake Excelsior finding a random pitcher via "Scouting Discovery" in the same in-game year that the real-life Excelsior "discovered" the real-life Creighton - because there's not much info about those players other than what positions they played. And, that's for star players.
I prefer not to use real players because so many others do that already, and do it well. However, I do think I want to use Negro League stars who never got a fair shot at Major League Baseball (ex: Josh Gibson) and prominent players whose careers were greatly impacted by wartime military service (ex: Ted Williams).
