in the game, there are two .csv files, one for major and minor leagues. (in my game they are located at: D:\Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 19\stats - but in a normal set up they are probably on your "C" drive ...) Those two files (they open with Apache open office - a free program) contain all the players in the historical games. You can find their player ID (the one used by the game) as well as their debut and final years in those files. (Column B is their player ID and column Z is their debut year.)
then as NoOne said in the previous post, go to free agent page, import historical players. It's very important to get the ID EXACT. Any slight deviation, a wrong space, a wrong or missed letter or number, and it won't import, or won't import the player you're trying to get
best of luck. if this ain't too clear, let us know and we'll try to be clearer ....
