I am in 1893 of my historical league Cy Young is on the White Sox (not the cubs).
I have Free Agency turned off, which for me keeps salaries down since u wont have to ever resign players, their contracts carry over year to year.
I have 1 level of minors so bad players get some experience vs sitting on teh reserve roster.
Minor league FA's is on, so i can get rid of these guys after awhile.
I tried doing a 100% historical 1871-2010 league but it became too complicated trying to have the real NA and AA teams, so i let the game do what it does which brought the Chicago White Sox (not the cubs) in in 1882 along with several other AL teams that didnt exist til 1901.

I deleted all coaches minus trainers and set it up each team with real owners of that era ( when I could find them) and real MGRs even if they were playing on a different team. I have 2 Charlie Pabors managing now. 1 with the Cubs/Colts 5 time WS winners and the other with PHilly A's 8 time WS winners.
Oh I did the All star game and World Series from 1871 instead of from 1903?
Awards being renamed and HOF will start in 1900. Ross Barnes, Cap Anson, Bobby Matthews and 1 other Sp r in so far.

Free Agency for me will start either in 1950, so i can sign Mantle, MAris, Jackie etc or when it normally started. in 1973?
I used Gambo's 2007 seating chart and stadium photo file so all my pictures are accurate as r dimensions.
I used Gambo's facegen also. I use the last but not latest version of gambo/spritze DB.

Ii think I covered all my settings, oh I left all #'s setting alone.
