Every one into the pool!

Hey, all...
I feel like I'm missing something that should be pretty basic...
I want to create a fictional, 32 team league. (This part is easy enough).
Here's the hard part: I want to have an inaugural draft of EVERY player in history. This seems like a common enough thing to do that it should be available, but I have clicked every button and menu in the game and have no clue how to make this work... Why is this so hard to figure out?
Thanks!

There have been almost 20,000 MLB players in all history, so with 32 teams drafting, you would need about 625 rounds in the inaugural draft to get everyone in.

Anyway, that would be how I'd do it.

Well, obviously the vast majority aren't going to be drafted... I just want a way to get them into the initial draft pool. The best I can find is an inaugural draft with the "use random players throughout the history of the league" option. This usually gets a few hall of famers, but I want them all!

I actually just created what you'd need to do this with the caveat being I added all players who made the majors and all seasons (including minors) so its roughly 220K player - season combinations

PM me if you want the excel or a text file to get you going
