Might be extremely hard to program.. but this would put the game over the top for historical buffs - and I've really started to want to get into something like this.

This is why I'd likely start the game in the 50s or 60s. I'd have enough teams to work with, but not too many. I like smallish associations as compared to the current league size.

I wonder how hard it would be to take some of the oldies like Gehrig, Ruth, and Walter Johnson and inserting them into more modern day draft files? I'm now dreaming of my old Earl Weaver league team where my lineup went Al Simmons, Paul Waner, Lou Gehrig, Al Rosen, and then Willie McCovey. My buddies and I played out 162 game seasons with our "all-time" teams, and had a blast.
