Even without this feature it remains the most (only?) customizable baseball sim ever.

Of course you can. The short form for "Anno Domino (sic) Two Thousand and Twelve is 2012. You could use the long form as the league file name.

To paraphrase Tonto, "what do you mean
we ... ...".
I don't think you can claim your naming convention as culturally US. I'd suggest it may be used in a lot of other non-US cultures. Inside the US some people may say Twenty twelve CE or Two Thousand Twelve CE. Many many more people in the US say the same words but omit CE unless it's required for clarity. I was taught in school that the "and" is superfluous and should be dropped. Most technical people I know US or otherwise don't use the "and".
There are multiple ways of expressing calender years as words. This is not a culturally based method and it's not analogous to Chinese culture or others that may have a distinct naming convention using words that don't describe a number.
