(I probably should have posted this this thread originally, instead of to historical database thread, since it seems to be an issue exclusive to 2025 starts ... my bad.)

In OOTP26, if you start a standard start-of-2025 game ... and if you look at the history page of the Baltimore Orioles, for most seasons prior to 1954 (i.e., when they were still the St. Louis Browns), the history index page is completely empty, instead of listing the players on the roster. (See first pic below.)

And if you scroll down on that page to the listings of the Team Batting and Team Pitching leaders ... it shows "Yorger Bautista" for every category. (See second pic below ... FYI, Yorger seems to be a 17-year-old LF for the present-day Mariners DSL team.)

The problem exists for Orioles/Browns seasons 1875-1881; if you click on those seasons in the Orioles' team history, you get blanks ... then, starting in 1882, clicking on a season in the Orioles' history will produce the Browns with all stats and players, but only until 1912 ... starting in 1913, clicking on a season produces the blanks again, for every year until 1954.

In addition: Browns players are also missing from season leaderboards.

Example: in 1922, George Sisler led the AL with a .420 average, and Ken Williams led the AL with 39 home runs and 155 RBI.

However, if you call up the league history, and click on AL for 1922 ... it is showing Ty Cobb as the league AVG leader at .401, Tilly Walker as the HR leader at 37, and Bobby Veach as the RBI leader with 126. Sisler and Williams are nowhere to be found on the leaderboard, even though they are in the game and will be found if you search for them. (See third pic below.)

I wonder if this might be connected to the fact that in past iterations of OOTP, the Browns were abbreviated as "SLA" ... and this is how they are abbreviated if you start a historical game in OOTP2026 ... but if you start a standard game for the 2025 season, the Browns' abbreviation is "SL3".

The problem does NOT happen if you play a historical game in OOTP26; all Browns' history pages are populated, and all MLB leaderboards are correct. It only happens if you start a standard start-of-2025 game.
