Glad you've sorted out the ballparks. Looking forward to this as a big historical PCL fan

When I put this together, I used the rosters published at Baseball Reference. On that list they put players in BOLD if they ever appeared in the MLB. I then manually imported each player and manually assigned them to the correct teams before i held my expansion draft.
For some reason, OOTP (even with minor league database checked) would not load the players who never were in the MLB. I tried a couple different methods but none worked. However, when I thought about it, these players would, for the most part, be bench players anyway...
So, in order to proceed, I filled in balance of the rosters with fictional players with the plan to replace them when I could get enough real players into the game. The only downside, I think, is some of these players may perform better than the minor leaguers I couldn't import - but I'll likely trade them out of the league for real players later.
PS: If anyone has an idea how to get 1957-58 minor league players that never appeared in the MLB into the game, please let me know - I'm not against changing things.
