OOTP needs to alter real league structure pre-1901 because OOTP requires two leagues and an even number of teams. That is also why a player draft is required, players can't go to their real teams because their real teams pretty much won't exist.

In 1871 the 9 National Association teams played between 27 and 35 games. To make the schedule and structure work with OOTP the game uses 8 teams and everybody plays 30 games.

If an ODB file exists in the stats folder OOTP ignores the CSV files, if there is no ODB file it uses the CSV files. If you include a different teams.csv file it must include an even number of teams. There is a thread started by baseball man that explains how to get around this challenge in great detail. I'd check in there when you get a chance.
