Back when I used to play Strat-O-Matic (the computer version), before Mogul and OOTP were around, I used to do this whole process where I would make fictional players out of the cards. It was a long and involved thing.

Anyway, I used to always make fictional leagues that started in the year 1001 (since 1000 was the earliest year it knew). I liked the idea that it wasn't a real year, just year 1 of the league. That way I didn't have to think about the world beyond my game. Now I think it would be hard to do that, even if I could.
