It will eventually get past that if I leave it long enough but it seems that this should not be happening. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Something I should delete or clear out that could be causing this to happen? Anyone else ever experience this or is it my own weird problem? Thanks for any help.

If you mean the Dec 31-Jan 1 save then it is working exactly to spec. During this save the game wraps up a lot of data as of Dec 31 and creates a multitude of csv files. If you have the Almanac set it will also create it at that time.
Depending on the size of your league this can take some time. If it is the only save you do I can see it taking a long time. Either way this behavior is completely normal.
I use the Jan 1 result of this save to create a full backup, then I strip out all box scores replays game logs and messages, rename and re-save the file for the new season The resulting league file is much smaller and less likely to crash IMO.
