What you could try is modifying the teams.csv file so from 1872 through 1900 it is historically correct - with the exception of the league structure. IOW, you'll still have to make it work within the AL & NL framework. But otherwise, I think it would work... You'd have to do all the transactions yourself unless you are ok with fictional/game-generated transations (it sounds like you're willing to do txns yourself, so no problem there).
You can specify the correct ballpark names in the teams.csv files. I think the actual schedules are out there, but not sure...
Editing the teams.csv file in order to accomplish this would take some doing, but I think it would work. (It's a project that I'd like to try one of these days... I'd certainly be willing to assist if you or someone wanted to try, as I'm fairly familiar with how these files work.)
I'm curious about this, though:
What has changed? Not at all doubting you. I'm just curious what's different.

The problem isnt the AL and NL abbreviations.
It's the franchID
When you change the franchID so that team history will be accurate
the teams will fold at the end of the season.
So when the 1873 Boston Red Stockings show up,
the 1872 Boston Red Stockings are now shown as a defunct team.
This also affects the automatic import of rookies to their correct teams.
Which in turn makes more work for those that prefer historical rosters.
I do have a transaction log but i will have to go back and put in all the
rookies that could be automatically imported when you changed the teams csv file in previous versions.
Not to mention that you now have to sign all the players that are now free agents because of the all the teams that folded.
