The Teams.csv file that is embedded in the histroical.database.odb sets up the game in the first year. The Teams.csv file outside of the historical.database.odb controls auto-evolution thereafter. Open the Teams.csv that is in the statsNeL mod folder. Go to the bottom of it and delete the NeL teams there for the years you don't want them (presumably 1910-1919). So, to push off expansion, start the game, say, in 1908. Then, let your adjusted Teams.csv file dictate the auto-evolution for the teams. That should work.
To not expand and not have a draft (so the AL/NL players go to their teams per real life and all the NeL'ers are free agents), repeat the steps above but delete the Expansion teams from 1910-1960 (and for the one league through 1961).
But the Teams.csv file is the key.
I'm working on the new edition of it as we speak and I've already decided that the modded Teams.csv should not be inside the odb. That will allow users the ability to set expansion on their own with greater ease and not need to start the game before 1910 date we fixed.
