there may be other ways, but after you research and find where the players were born, you could create a series of text files (one for each state/city) and then import those players via a text file. it'd be a mammoth job to do, but it should work. as stated above, may be a simpler way, but the text file route should work in theory.

you'd have to create a league as desired, then delete all the players and then import new players via text files to each of the teams you created .....

here's a link - in case you're not familiar with text files and how to use them to import players ...

the hardest part i see is going through all the players and finding their home towns. i guess Baseball Reference would be a good place to start.

Good luck and if any questions, feel free to ask.
