I've been in the same boat as I have started about 50 or so leagues in 13 and haven't really been able to stick. I had to start playing historical to find some interest. I started in the late 70's with the Tigers but after getting fired after one season I started something else. I have finally gotten interested enough in a league I never thought I would and that was starting as the Tigers in 1901. I've only played one season (play out first game of every series and then sim the rest of the series) but I'm pretty hooked. It also helped as I inserted one fictional player as me so that I can follow along. I didn't create him too great but good enough to stick... It's similar enough to the fictional games I'm used to but I've had a good time looking up players in baseball reference (I use development engine so I'm not cheating too bad)

It also doesn't help that I found a post on here that gave instructions on how to import ballparks & ball locations from an existing league so the most time consuming part is now a lot quicker.
