news stories on career leaderboard changes
Suggestion:
Generate milestone-like news stories when a new player takes over sole possession of the top spot on leaderboard categories. This can be limited to the key categories that generate milestone articles - hits, home runs, wins, strikeouts (by pitcher).
These shouldn't be generated until a league has been around for a reasonable number of seasons (probably after the minimum PAs and IPs take effect). This would avoid lots of unrealistic stories that would otherwise be generated for the first few years of new leagues.
This could be extended to generate stories as a player moves within one of the career leader, and as he ties the career leader.
Reason: increased realism. Just focusing on round number milestones ignores the whole class of news stories in real life that occur as someone approaches the all-time record in something.
