I will be using a mix of fictional players and whatever players I can dig up in this era. By the 1870's, I would like to have one major league where the best players from these leagues would combo in one team.

For the veteran historical leaguers, what issues would you foresee me running into? Is it even possible to run 8-10 minor leagues for about 12 years without having a major league?

Thanks in advance!
Might depend on how accurate you want your historical league to be. Its hard enough to get data on leagues starting in 1871. Personally i dont start before 1871 and would prefer starting in1876 but i gotta have AL Spalding in my league.

I would make a plan on what you want to do. Make some test leagues.
When you have it the way you want i would advice making backups during preseason, end of the season and before the playoffs and then at the end of the year. That way you don't have to go back to far until you feel comfortable with less saves.
