1. You probably should have started out with 16 teams in 1901, since that was the year the AL became a major league.

2. The Dodgers didn't move to Los Angeles until I believe '58. In fact, between 1903 and 1953 *no* team changed cities. The first team to move was IIRC the Boston Braves to Milwaukee, followed by the St. Louis Browns to Baltimore. Again, if you don't have the AL, you won't see the latter shift happen.

BruceM's Baseball Chronology, by the way, is a wonderful wonderful tool.
