I'm 99% sure that Layman lists the manager name with each team. Why not import it during league creation?

One more for the wish list, this one may be impossible though. Again for historicals, it would be cool if all the coaches were retired big-leaguers whose names are pull from Layman. I'm thinking that you could create a coaches pool from the names of players who played in the bigs 15 years prior to the start date of the league that you are creating. The distribution among Man, PC, BC, etc could be purely random. Just think it would be cool to start an 82 league and see Whitey Herzog, Tony Larussa, Gene Green, Red Munger etc pop up in coaching positions.
