The issue with adding the second league after starting the game was I had to contend with fictional players that needed deleting. To make that easier I set the new fictional league to be based in Brazil (you can use any country that wouldn't have real players at this time) which allowed me to quickly filter most of the fictional players and deleting them... Once those players were deleted I changed the nation and renamed all my teams.

After the first or second year, I expanded my AAA league from 8 to 16 teams. Then, in 1904, I added another 16-team AAA league and a 16-team AA league (not sure what difference the AAA vs AA designation makes, since all of the players are historical and there are no affiliations). With those two new leagues in 1904 I had no trouble identifying and deleting the fictional players that were created. As long as I didn't advance a day, then the only players in those leagues were fictional; thus, easy to identify.

I'll probably do something similar when I get there. I'm only in 1911 and am looking forward to the Federal League joining my game. Spritze says it runs alongside the fictions minors, no problem, so that's cool.

Negro leaguers are importing and some are doing pretty well...
So far, with some tweaks to the setup, I'm finding that I'm also able to use historical transactions for the majors. And I'm also able to get many minor-leaguers to import to their actual teams, as long as the real team names exist in these fictional minor leagues.
