I would certainly edit the text myself if I knew when these records were broken, but unless these players are actually on my team when they break these records I generally don't know when they are actually broken, being that they don't generate news stories. I have, in some cases, put a date for the end of the season saying that they broke the record that year. This still requires me to know when important records are broken, which is still not always something I realize until well afterwards if they are not on my team.
I think the one thing that may have prevented Markus from incorporating this is that the messages and history additions would be absolutely ridiculous, to say the least, when a league was in its first couple of years. Can you imagine a guy breaking the career and single-season HR record every time he hit a home run the first year? There has to be some kind of line drawn, as this would be nice to have in year 20 of a league but umanageable in year 1-5 or so.
As it is, I'll continue to add these things when possible.
