If I am starting before WWII, I will usually start in 1901 and sim to the mid-1930's; take over the worst team and then select (hopefully) Dimaggio and/or Williams and go on from there.

Thanks for the response.
That's usually the plan that I follow, although I think I'm going to sim all the way to the 1970's and take over the Blue Jays in 1977. I've tried to do teams from the 1930's and 1950's, but for some reason it's never held my attention for long. I think part of it is because Mantle and Williams and Aaron are legends (IMO) and that the era in question is almost untouchable. The other is that I want to jump in when the bulk of the guys I liked as a kid were just coming into the league (Murphy, Dawson, Carter, Morris). I'm more excited about this than I have been about any other historical dynsaty I've created. If I don't enjoy it, I will 'resign' as GM of Toronto and sim until 199-something and take over the worst team.
Thanks!
