Question thing.... As a few people have figured out the Spritze database sticks players in the team organization they are most associated with. Ruth starts out as a Yankee for example. That is because Ruth started playing for an unaffiliated team (Baltimore) who had the right to sell his contract to any major or minor league team who would meet their price. So a historically accurate Ruth has a less than 6% chance of ever being signed by either the Red Sox or Yankees. Hence the artificial push to get him Yankeed. Players could also be artificially pushed to their first affiliated organization (Red Sox) in this case or left as available to anyone and start playing for the Independant teams who held their reserve clause contract. I don't know if OOTP is robust enough yet to let major league teams purchase ccntracts from unaffiliated minor league teams as all minor league teams were independent.

The reason Ruth starts out as a Yankee in the database is simply my preference. I am wondering if a change might be in order.
