If I want to start a league in 1901 for example, I start in 1895 (or earlier), play to spring of 1901, delete career records, service time and everything (except injuries), release all players for a draft, set up my league/teams/schedule. Run my draft (players injured in 1901 will be available for draft). Players/teams have zero history. Players that are injured will miss the season (if you have that option selected) and when they come off the injured list in following year(s), they will start with zero career stats.
I'm not a huge fan of deadball, so starting in 1895 to get to 1947 is a lot of work. Even starting 1919 takes time. Prior to 17 we could start whenever and erase all history. Sure it was a bug that allowed this, but it was a super califragic bug that if I had my wish would still exist.

Not a huge deal though, as I can play random debut and get what I'm seeking. In fact, I can get players from all periods of baseball and have them play baseball from the periods I enjoy.
