I hate to be a party pooper/curmudgeon, but reality is reality...

You'll have to wait longer for the full thing—there's a ton of aspects that would still need to be done to get "full and real" minor leagues. (Quick example: OOTP still cannot recreate the actual playoff formats in the current California and Midwest Leagues.)

And calling it "historical minor leagues" without the Southern Association isn't really accurate. It's "historical-ish minor leagues". Which is fine, but I think OOTP Devleopments needs to be VERY clear about what EXACTLY this feature entails so that users don't expect more from it than what it really contains.
For the record, here is the year-by-year breakdown of the number of affiliated clubs in the Southern Association (the total number of clubs in the league is in parentheses):
1932-1933: 1 (8)
1934-1936: 3 (8)
1937: 4 (8)
1938: 6 (8)
1939: 7 (8)
1940: 5 (8)
1941: 4 (8)
1942: 3 (8)
1943: 2 (8)
1944-1945: 4 (8)
1946-1947: 6 (8)
1948-1949: 7 (8)
1950-1955: 8 (8)
1956: 7 (8)
1957-1958: 8 (8)
1959: 6 (8)
1960-1961: 7 (8)
As one can see, the Southern Association was a majority-affiliated league post-WWII.
