Hmmm. Actually, I cannot remember whether quickstarts were around before OOTP 2006, and you might have been playing OOTP 5/6 up until now, so please pardon my initial incredulity over that question. I hope my response was adequate; here's a bit more from the manual:

3.1.3. Quick-Start Game
Quick-start games are predefined baseball universes. You can use quick-starts to jump into a game quickly. Or, you can save your own OOTP games as quick-start games and share them with friends. For example, you could set up a game scenario wherein you challenge your friends to see who can take the weakest club in a quick-start game and bring it to a championship in the fewest number of years.
Quick-start games are complete leagues. That is, they already have teams and players defined. You cannot take a quick-start league and start over using the same structure, but with different players. A quick-start is much like making a copy of a saved game, only without the hassle of copying and renaming folders.

If you look in your data\quickstart_games folder, you will see two fictional quickstarts that come with the game. The third one, Majors.quick, is the "New Major League Game" that you see in the main screen menu.
You can download and install quickstart games that modders have made in this same folder. There are some great ones available here:
