Historical Question
I want to do my own historical league starting in 1871 more or less following that same path as the NA into the NL. My question is how do I point to the historical database. I tried to point to it but is is greyed out.

Point to your preferred Master,csv in whatever folder you put it in. Make sure no ODB file exists in that folder
OR You can use the historrical setup wizard

If I use the wizard can I modify the structure for 9 teams like the NA? And be able to adjust as I go forward

Yes, but 1871 must start with 2 leagues because OOTP has this silly rule about 2 leagues and an even number of teams per league in year one,
Once they have been created you can change them. This will happen every year until 1901. It is a real PITA. From 1901 the game will use the NL and AL as expected although no Federal League.

There were actually 10 teams in 1871. Two in Washington DC. One of those DC teams did not play its first game until 1872. That is an example of how loosely things were structured back then.

Actually that seems to have changed a tiny bit. Though you still need 2 leagues you can have and uneven number of teams in a league. I imported a custom database for 1871 with 1 team in the AL and the rest in the NL. I delete them anyway to get the real rosters faster but it does work.

I hoped that would change since the modern leagues are now 15 teams each.
Just need to get rid of the 2 leagues part next. 1 and 3 would be nice additions.

Don't forget about the Brooklyn Eckfords who started playing exhibition games mid-season when Ft. Wayne folded It's very difficult to deal with to say the least.

Problem is because the transaction file only works with the database within the game you have to manually do trades. This is how i do my transactions. I can look at the date and theres really only 2 actions i need to take. You can have players retire as they did in real life on but i think missing years option might mess things up. playerID transactionDate1 FromTeam Action ansonca01 12/31/1871 RC1 Released armstbo01 12/31/1871 FW1 Released barkeal01 12/31/1871 RC1 Released allisdo01 01/01/1872 TRO Free Agent Signing ansonca01 01/01/1872 PH1 Free Agent Signing barrebi01 01/01/1872 WS3 Free Agent Signing |

And after about a dozen games apiece they both folded. Four Washington teams folded in midseason in four years.
