My post is aimed at anyone who has attempted to do a 19th century game with the real setups (and all of the painful manual team addition/deletion that comes with it).

How would I best handle the two-year hiatus the Chicago White Stockings took in 1872-1873 (due to Chicago fire-related chaos) with respect to making sure that the 1871 history stays connected to the 1874 and beyond version of the White Stockings? My understanding of baseball history is that this club survived all of the turmoil in early baseball to eventually become the modern-day Chicago Cubs, so I definitely want the history to roll forward correctly in my sim.

The two ideas I thought of were to:

A) Simply empty the roster at 1/1/1872, force the team to stay empty by banning AI roster moves, and schedule it no games until 1874.

B) Delete it after 1871 and assign it the same abbrevations and historical IDs when reincarnating it in 1874.

Any input from people who have more experience in the OOTP historical area would be appreciated.
