I want to start a season, but not control a team til the League has been around for 100 years, is there any quicker way to sim 100 years then by selecting Auto Play until....and picking a 100 years from that day?

That's the way to do it. While you're simming, be sure to disable Facegen and set autosim to "dialog only" under OOTP Preferences. You may want to keep Facegen on if you want historical photos for your league, but IMO it's a high price in terms of sim time over 100 seasons.

You should also consider whether you want to turn the Alamanac off. Leaving it on will slow things considerably.

Be sure to check "delete players who never reach majors" box, too, otherwise those guys will clutter things up and grow your database at an alarming rate.
