Creating Managers

Could we get the limit on birth years removed when creating a manager?
I understand that if you create a manager in 1925 with a birthday of 1985 then it would be a -60 years but how just have it show blank number for age unitl its a positive number.
We can create managers at 2 years old so why not just allow us to create them all at once?
People could create their start league and then input all the managers they will use at one time so they don't have to do it every year.
Same with owners.
Also how bout Ownership allowing for two or 3 owners, an estate or company?
Just a thought.
Overall this version has been very good

Brings up a question. Why isn't there corporate ownership in MLB? The proprietorship model is dead for most industries.

Unless they used fake corporations, there would be serious copyright issues and fees to get permission etc. I think.

How?
It would be an option for the user to input the information.
It would be up to you what information you put in there.
No different than using real owner names.
Other games like Cities Skylines and American Truck Simulator gives you the ability to mod their game with real brands.
They just don't put the brands in the game themselves.
