Suttles looks real close! Thank you all for pulling up your bootstraps on this.
I loaded up this mod to run its course beginning in 1871, following the user guide.

The graphics and ballparks will all load automatically when automatically expand league is enabled and the modified era_ballparks file is substituted into the database folder.

I did not see this in the inaugural season, for ballparks at least that I remember. This is probably known, but perhaps not universally known. These files would need to be manually updated to work year one. Does this also apply to the era_stats, era_ballpark files?

WARNING #3. For the 1871-1900 seasons, OOTP will generate fictional schedules because the new league structure is different than what OOTP expects... From 1911-1961 OOTP will generate fictional 154-game schedules.

Do you have schedule files that could be used to replace the fictional schedules? For instance, the fictional schedule created in 1871 for the 2 subleague, 4 team structure has teams only playing its single subleague rival, and not the other 2 teams.
For 1911-1961, I suppose one could cycle between real life MLB 1962-1968 schedules, but you'd lose the feel of earlier eras. Also, there does not appear to be suitable 10 or even 20 team, 154 game schedules availabe here in the schedule subforum.
Lastly, what era_ballpark file are you using (of the three you supply)?
