You got a lot of good advice in the above posts.

Nice Custom Logos, Jerseys and Caps are a huge part of getting immersed in a league... initially this will be a lot of work in setting up a league, but it is worth the time... 50% of my enjoyment of the game comes from well-done graphics... 50% from playing out the games.

Go to the OOTP Mods and Graphics Forum... use these Stickys for Teams, Logos and Jerseys:
Retro Style Logos (txranger, knuckler)
My Fictional Teams (low)
High School Feeder League Logos (Lawn Loaf)

Check out the other fine Stickys for Logos, Jerseys and Caps.

You might also check out other non-Stickyed threads, too... there are a lot of other fine logos, jerseys and caps there, too.

Personally, I have found that playing out games in small leagues in the one-pitch mode greatly enhances my enjoyment... this is only possible for small leagues 12-16 teams... my current league is two leagues, 6-teams each, that play only 10 games a season... one home and one away game with each team... one game a week on Sunday afternoon... you could expand the league schedule to 20 games if you liked... or even 30... I chose 10 games to speed up each season.

The ideal league for me is 2 leagues or 2 subleagues with no more than 8-10 teams in each league or subleague... a small league is easier to administer and makes it easier to know the players well... it also make it easier to recap as a dynasty league, should you be interested in that.

Post a dynasty league report on the OOTP Dynasty Forum... this will help increase your knowledge of your league, its teams and its players.

If you don't plan to play out your games and will just sim, then you don't want a small league.

Keep your league fictional (I prefer fictional teams because you don't have any expectations of player performance... using real players will disappoint you at times, when Joe DiMaggio is only a .250 hitter and Tom Seaver is a 7-22 pitcher with a 5.00 ERA.
