So I had a version of OOTP a while back that I never had much time to play and have recently gotten back into the game via the iOOTP versions the last 2 years....

I'm wanting to get OOTP 14 (great sale right now!) and set up a historical league....it looks like the best way to go is to download the spritze DB and start in 1901....what I'm wondering is can I start from that date, with rosters as they should be, and what I want to do is pretend there was never a color barrier.

So...I want to control where I place some of the Negro League guys throughout the history of the game...and I'm not sure if there's a way I can bring them in via draft or free agency or what.

But basically I want to start with the real rosters and simulate from 1901 on, bringing players into the game at the proper times, etc. And include negro league and possibly Japanese players as well.

Thanks for any words of wisdom. I look forward to playing around and running various ideas through the history of the game....
