These and all players do miss season and retire according to their Real Life careers.
It "bugs" me that my league started in 1901 and it's now 1903 and it shows Jimmy Ryan leading the league with 2500 hits with Nap Lajoie second with 400 hits.
It shows Fred Klobedanz leading the league in HRs allowed (33). In Real Life he played from 1896-1899 (giving up 33 HRs), missed 1900 and 1901 and then played 1902 IRL and Retired. For my league he was drafted following the 1901 season and retired following 1902, just like expected bot when I go to his page, it shows his RL stats for 1896-1899 and shows his stats for 1902 based on what he did in my league and for his career totals, it combines both. His service time shows 4 years (IRL he played partial years in 1896 and 1899). I don't have this problem with players that played in 1901 or had their inaugural start later. It's just those few players who IRL played in the 1800s, missed 1901 and then re-entered the league later on.
When creating the league I did not select import complete history and went to league settings and erased service time and career stats of all players when I created the league.

It's been doing what you describe for as long as I remember. I never use the retire and miss seasons feature for this very reason. I like to start my historical leagues with a clean slate, zeros across the board. I'm guessing the retire and miss seasons according to history features are designed for folks that import the complete history and play forward.
