That's a useful source, Joe. I may have a look.

I, of course, am making things way too complicated by trying to start a fictional league in 1869, which technically OOTP can handle, but I'll need to manually manipulate either the 1871 line in the era_stats.txt file (as OOTP can only import to 1871) or by adjusting league total modifiers.

I've abandoned my San Franscisco-based league starting in 1888 given some things I've run into in OOTP and am opting to recreate the origins of baseball from the east coast, using real baseball progression only as a guide. Aside from the formation of the NABBP in 1858, everything after that will be fictional (for example, I'm having four professional teams exist by 1868 and form the first professional league, the National Union, in 1869. So a truly alternative path.

Of course, I could just make it easy and start in 1871 but ... that's just not my personality. :P
