I'm no expert, but I believe Custom is the way to go.

Since you want to tweak so many variables, and since you want only One Team actually from 1918 (for example), there is no reason to use Historical setup.

Create a custom league with the structure you want, then go ahead and import all the teams you want.

Then you can fiddle with the other options. I see from another post that you want Eddie Collins to hit his realistic Low-HR totals in the same season where Manny Ramirez hits his realistic High-HR totals.

I'm not sure it is possible to recreate this in OOTP. In OOTP, you pick a year to base stats off, and then the players will perform as they might have in that year. If you put Manny in 1918, he will not hit 40 Homers, but if you put him in 2004, he can. If you put Eddie Collins in 2004, with his power rating (don't know it, but assuming it is decent), he will hit more than 7 homers.
