I am trying to figure out how to set up a league where I start in a certain year (say 1957) and import the complete history of baseball up to that point. The starting point of those teams would be the historical rosters of each team. But moving forward, all new players drafted into the game would be fictional.

So, Willie McCovey and Orlando Cepeda would be part of this universe, as they were in the minors in 1957, but Juan Marichal and Gaylord Perry would not as they were not part of the 1957 initial player load. All new player drafts from that point forward would only be fictional players. Over the next several years, the league would gradually shift from mostly historical players to mostly fictional players until eventually all of the historical players retire.

The idea is to have a league made up of fictional players, but to be able to have those fictional players chase the historical records that were in place up to that point in time.

Is this possible?
