Combining Players From Different Eras

Q: How do I create a league with my favorite players from baseball history?

A: Baseball Mogul already has a feature that does something like this, called "All-Time All-Stars". To create a league with the best players from each of the 30 major league franchises:

1) Run Baseball Mogul.
2) Click "Start a New Game of Baseball Mogul".
3) Click "Custom".
4) Click "All-Time All-Stars".

This will create a baseball universe with 30 teams, each populated with the franchise's best players (at the beginning of their best season).

Q: But I want to choose the players in the league.

A: Baseball Mogul has multiple ways to do this. But the easiest is probably to edit the text file that is used by the "All-Time All-Stars" feature.

1) From the Baseball Mogul Help Menu, choose "Open Baseball Mogul Folder".
2) Go into the "Input" folder and then into the "Players" folder.
3) Open "All-Time All-Stars.csv". (Recommended: Make a backup copy first)
4) Delete the rows for any players you don't want to include.
5) Add rows for any players you want to add. You will need to know the player's "Register ID":

You can find this by visiting the player's Baseball-Reference page and clicking on "Minor Lg Stats" — the player's ID can be found in the URL.

5) Add rows for any players you want to add.​

For Step 5 above, you will need to know the player's 12-character "Register ID". You can find this by visiting the player's Baseball-Reference page and clicking on "Minor Lg Stats" — the player's ID can be found in the URL:​

Alternatively, you can download the Player Register from the Baseball Databank (this file is also found in Baseball Mogul's "Database" folder).

​The player's "Register ID" is in the column labeled "key_bbref_minors":

6) Save "All-Time All-Stars".
7) Start a new game using the "All-Time All-Stars" option.

Q: Also, I only want to include players from the 16 pre-expansion teams.

A: Follow the steps above to select your favorite players from each franchise. For post-expansion teams like the Arizona Diamondbacks (ARI), leave that part of the file as is. After you start a new game, you can go to the League Editor and delete the teams you don't want included. This will also delete the players on those teams.
