When I tried the Fictional Historical setting and used the historical team name feature I got Washington 1900 and Chicago 1900.
I have read the parts of the Online Manual about league creation. This sounds like a really cool game, but so far I haven't been able to make it work. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to the ootp family.
The team name problems are because MLB asked us not to use them..it's an easy fix though...send me a PM and I'll give it to you...this no longer affects future versions of ootp as we are now licensed by MLB.
One other thing that users say works is to hit "Randomize Team Names" exactly 3 times and that gives the real team names..
