Starting a new historical Sim....

In 1871 and I was wondering if anyone has a listing of the teams from 1871-1900 and the historical ID's. I have all the information from 1901-present but need them from earlier. If this has been listed anywhere I apologize, but I looked and couldn't find it. Thanks

This - http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/ - will give you the teams... Not sure what you mean about historical id's, though...

Open up the Teams.xls sheet from whichever database you are using (Lahman, ArodGarlon, etc) and the historical team id's for each season are listed.

For example here is 1871:

Code:


yearID	lgID	teamID	franchID
1871	NA	BS1	BNA
1871	NA	CH1	CNA
1871	NA	CL1	CFC
1871	NA	FW1	KEK
1871	NA	NY2	NNA
1871	NA	PH1	PNA
1871	NA	RC1	ROK
1871	NA	TRO	TRO
1871	NA	WS3	OLY
