Another thing that can really keep your interest in a fictional league is when players achieve milestones. In the 23rd season of my league (I simmed the first 15 years to establish a history), I had a player on another team who was closing in to become the first to have 3,000 career hits. The whole season I not only played out my team's games, but closely followed his until he hit the 3,000 mark. I couldn't have been prouder than if he was one of my own draft choices. This year (24th), I had a day when one player became the fourth to reach 400 career home runs and a pitcher who became only the third to reach 250 victories (I'm now hoping he'll be the first to get to 300). These are moments that make your league really come alive.
