Franchise History Suggestion

Dear OOTP Development folks,

Would it be possible to make Franchise History start years selectable? I am an Orioles fan, and would love to make the team stats records begin in 1954 (when the modern day Orioles came to Baltimore from St. Louis). Many of the old time records (particularly pitching) are unreachable in the modern game. When anyone talks about Orioles records, either single season or lifetime, the modern era beginning in 1954 is the basis.

I know the game can be started with the box "Import complete history up to 19__" unchecked, and I use that if I start with the 1954 season. That works, but it negates all records, including other teams, Hall of Fame selections, etc. Also, if I start with a year that is later than 1954, say 1958, it isn't workable since it wouldn't include modern records from 1954 to 1958.

Thanks for your consideration. I have enjoyed OOTP Baseball for many years, through many versions. It is incredibly cool.
