C. Connecting the PBP to the current season stats (streaks, leaderboards, etc.)
D. Connecting the PBP to the player's personal history (accomplishments, personal best, trades, age, etc.)
E. Connecting the PBP to Team events (current road trip, success vs opposint teams, etc.)

Here's an example of what I'm talking about. In my first season this player was released by the Hamsters and signed by the Squid. Six years later the Squid trade him back to the Hamsters for two players.
This has the makings of an interesting PBP commentary; Discarded by his first team (on opening day), six years later they give up two players to get him back.
