If you use one of the databases to start a historical career in 1985, do you have to use the exact same league structure, teams, and team names that were in place that year and thereafter?

For example, what if you wanted to delete two of the AL teams so that both AL and NL have symmetrical six-team divisions. Is that possible, and, if so, what would happen when you generate the league to the players that started out on the deleted teams?

What if you wanted to have the 1985 Montreal Expos be the Washington Nationals instead?

Also, is it possible using a historical database to continue the league from 1985 without expansion and without the change in league structure to three divisions per league?
