Default DH for World Series?

[thehef]

I'm playing out the 1973 World Series in a historical league and I've found that I needed to kill the game when I started the first two games (in Baltimore) and the DH was set to On... (I want no DH in the Series, like in real life.)

I'm used to playing out games and not having to tinker with DH settings because during the regular season OOTP defaults it correctly. But not in the post-season... I anticipate having this problem regularly until the game catches up to the year (1986) in which the DH on/off is determined by American/National League park.

My question: Am I overlooking some setting somewhere that will default the DH to it's historically-accurate World Series setting?

Thanks in advance.

I believe OOTP automatically goes by the current rules, so if you want the rules used in earlier World Series you have to do it manually.

Here's how DH usage has been handled in the World Series:

1973-75, 1977, 1979, 1981, 1983, 1985: Not used in any games.
1976, 1978, 1980, 1982, 1984: Used in all games.
1986-present: Only used in games played in AL club's park.
