As far as not knowing the players, you can spend a long time reading about the prewar game and players and get familiar with their legends and stories. "The Glory of Their Times" by Lawrence Ritter is a great starting place. It's an awesome book with stories told by the players themselves from interviews that Ritter had with the actual players.
It's a great time in baseball and there are lots of characters and heroes and villains.
