Glad you like! To keep track, i use a spreadsheet. I arrange the players by birth-year at each position, keeping track of everyone who scores a full point in some season or other. There's a column for name, a column for birth-year, a column for points earned before the league even started (for the initial players), a column for playoff points, a column for pitcher's career-win points, and a column for every season -- plus a grand total, of course.

I like arranging by birth-year, because as time goes by i see a graphic rise-and-fall of each set of players, and because at each position i can scroll quickly past the retired generation(s) to starting adding points to the current stars. I also like how a long career of solid-to-great performances just _looks_ like long and productive, at a glance, while short bursts, or single fluke seasons by mediocrities, leave their own visual signatures.
