It's hard to tell from your message how much of a "newbie" that you are, so I will recommend, if you have not noticed it yet, the quickstart game that comes with the game called MAL.quick. It's MLB plus minors with fictional players. If you are really new to OOTP, all you have to do is edit some team and league names and start playing that quickstart game to get a feel and how the game works with a majors/minors universe.
Next, you can replicate the same universe, plus add a few of the default international leagues by creating a new game and checking Major American League and a few others. This will give you an idea of how MLB interacts with other leagues concerning trades and free agent interleague movement (if you allow them).
If you really are new to the game, then it might be a good idea to do these things before experimenting with modifications. When you are ready, in addition to f.montaya's suggestions, may I recommend our very own Modifications ("Mods") forum? That's where I found my logos (in the Logos, Graphics, and HTML subforum - you may have to page backwards in time a bit), and there is a utility available there called OOTP FaceTool that the moderators have honored with sticky status.
I have been over to the ootpmodsquad site and I did get my Bogart stadium pictures from there. There is currently only one offering of a world template that dates after patch 1.03, which may or may not be a concern. One drawback is that the file is offered in .rar format, which requires installing an alternate zip-type program to extract. There are also some historical roster sets available, but your league setup has to match. I don't know; someone new to the game should not be diving into this stuff, IMO.
