Historical Replay - Injuries on or off?
 

I'm doing an 1871 to present historical replay, manually making all the team and roster adjustments. I've so far played thru the 1875 season, and I've kept injuries off due to the small roster sizes. Also, it seems to be more accurate because you don't get non-historical injuries. At the same time, I'm not going to go to the level of recreating actual injuries.

So my question is, when, if at all, would be a good year to actually turn injuries back on? I'm leaning towards just leaving them off, because I really haven't missed them. I don't control any of the teams.

Also, just FYI, here are my league champions to date:

1871 - Boston Red Stockings
1872 - New York Mutuals
1873 - Boston Red Stockings
1874 - Boston Red Stockings
1875 - Philadelphia Athletics

Your game, your way use the injury settings whichever way makes the most sense to you.

And when you are playing a great game, these are the questions that get asked. What an amazing amount of customizable options there are....

Except I still haven't figured out what to do...lol. Is there a website that keeps track of real injuries from say 1901 onwards? I wouldn't wanr to do every little nick and scratch, but perhaps major to moderate injuries would be doable.

I don’t know of a site but there maybe something on baseballreference.com

Ill see what I can find. I can see a need for some type of guidebook for 19th century OCD simmers.
