It is considered historical by some but isn't what I think of as historical.

i suppose, it all ends up as fictional, since it's a game (and not historical re-enactments) and we each alter it to fit our personal playing methods. i like the game. i play it in my own personal universe and call it whatever. it's based on history somehow, but after a while, i'm not certain even i can tell the difference between my fictional-historical and what was supposed to be baseball reality. And i like it that way.
