There was a thread on this or maybe just a post years ago where a player said he had a fictional league that started in the 1700's. I wish I knew who that was maybe you could do a search. The earliest I have gone back is 1865. (My backstory was something like baseball brings the country together after the Civil War, or something.) I used 1871 parameters until we actually made it to that year and then let the game adjust yearly as necessary.

If you haven't read Questdogs "A Chronicle of Baseball History" dynasty thread. You should. It is excellent. His league starts in the 1840's but I have no idea how much of it is based in ootp yet. He is creating a historically accurate fictional beginning to the game. The only stats the reader ever views are hand outs and runs. Not sure how or if he has manipulated the game in any way to create that sort of scenario. I would love to know because it is genius.
