Not sure if this was getting noticed so have reposted in new thread.

Version: 9.2.13 (the only mods are logos, uniforms)
League type: historical MLB AL, NL - 1903.
PC/MAC: PC
What were you doing? Nothing.
What happened?

1. The league suddenly went into expansion mode, when this is not accurate historically. In other words, this expansion should not have occurred on this year (1903).

2. I selected the dropdown menu for expansion drafts and protection lists and the game does not respond, get an hourglass, then a message saying the program is being shut down.

Reproducible? WIth this league yes.
Problem occurs with other leagues? Crashes during every expansion attempt during legitimate expansion seasons.

Note: I also notice that in the league where this occurred originally the season standings record for a team (CHN) has been reset to 0, except for GBL.

FIx attempts and results:

1. deselected auto-expansion in game setup
- expansion attempt remains
2. attempted to add free agents
- game crashed when i went to look at player list
3. resign as GM and act as commish

4. created a new league (1976) and ran first year as commish.

- no problem when i went into roster protection menu. however game crashed when i clicked on first year player draft order menu. this is not an issue in other leagues where there is no expansion

5. so far I have created test leagues for this issue using the wizard setup and advanced setup. i have chosen each one to expand. without exception, whenever i finish the season prior to expansion and get to the point of expansion (ie oct 15, 1976) where i have to protect roster, i go to the leagues free agent page, click on either view players or first year players draft order and the game crashes.

Could someone from tech support let me know that they have least seen this post even if they cannot answer immediately? Thanks.
