You can use the Lahman database (comma-delimited version) and create any historical season you want with it.

To everyone who responded, thanks for your help. I have a question. Actually, it's a pretty dumb question but, .. I have downloaded Lahman's database but can't figure out how to unzip or open it into OOTP6 so I can start a certain year! Can someone explain how I go about using these files with OOTP6? As always, thanks for your help!

Basically extract the version of Lahman you are using to a folder (just call it Lahman) and put it inside your OOTP 6.5 folder for easy finding. Then when you are 'starting a new historical league' ,at the 'path to database' button, find the directory where you placed lahman (so it will be something like-C\Programs\Program files\OOTP Developments\OOTP6.5\lahman....

Then chose the year you want to start in-just type it in. If you want to manage a club then click in the 'start manager career' button.

I started a 1969 season recently and it is ace-get a photo set for your era too from here:

I had to change the player photos to bmp format for them to work (they come in jpeg) and then you put them in the 'PHOTOs' folder within your league folder.
