Various Ideas I Would Like to See

TEAM RECORDS
Most of the records the game stores are for individual players. I would like to see some all time and season records based off of team such as:

* Longest team winning / losing streaks (I would be OK if it had to be from point of being added going forward, if it can't go back in the history of the league)
* Most runs / hits in an inning / game / season
* Largest comeback for a win / lost in a game
* Longest game (time and/or innings)
* Most wins/loses in a season

UMPIRES
Would like to see them visually in the game. Their strike zones could vary as well. A game with an Angel Hernandez type umpire could be less predictable than others with the potential to have more controversy and ejections. Some umpires with tighter strike zones would cause a pitcher with less control to have more walks and so on.

VISUALS WHEN PLAYING OUT THE GAME
All of these would be nice to haves and not have to haves:

* Breaking news widget - News pops up in the widget like a player in a different game is coming up to bat to reach a milestone, a no hitter bid in the 9th, team possibly clinching a playoff spot, final scores, the options can go on and on. A bonus would be if you could click on a link and go straight to the game that the breaking news is about.

* Weather - actually see rain in the game, cloud shadows slowly moving through the field on a summer day. Flags blowing in the direction of the wind.

* Variable attendance throughout the game - late arriving crowds, empty stands near the end when the home team is getting torched.

* Out of town scoreboards where applicable

* More varied shirts in the crowd to reflect all of the teams various uniforms.

* More fonts (or allow system fonts) to allow for more varied looks to the screen, including widgets.

* Warming up in the bullpen notifications for AI teams.

Most Wins/Losses in a season are in league history, on team leaderboards.

Out of Town Scoreboard is available when playing out games.

The rest would be nice adds.
