I am not sure if there are other issues in these leagues or using these players or not, just giving some additional info.

OOTP has never imported before 1901 from the Lahman database directly, however with a simple workaround, creating a custom league set in a year previous to 1901, it could be tricked into importing 19th century players.
This worked beautifully in OOTP4 but with the current game some players will not show on the active roster. It seems a very simple bug to fix and it is extremely frustrating that it was not corrected with the latest major patch after all the attention the problem was given in this forum.
I'm rather suprised that Lahman import from 1871 onwards hasn't been supported from the beginning but especially so that it wasn't a part of OOTP5. However, a simple fix to this bug would have satisfied all the 19th century simmers who play this game. The fact that it wasn't is maddening and leaves little hope that Markus will ever fix it with OOTP5.
