Ok, throwing out another idea - bear with me if your getting tired of them

In lieu of a game story (until Markus gets the time or resources to write such things, how about working with something we already have in the game?

The Game log is a pitch by pitch narrative of each and every game - perfect for documenting the details, but hard to read for a game summary.

What if we had a version of the Game Log that stripped out all the pitches, leaving only the play results - then further striped out any half innings that did not result in a score?

We would end up with a game recap that touched on all the scoring plays and would be a recap of the game when added to the wining and losing pitchers and the player of the game.

Here's a sample I put together of what I'm thinking of...

Top of the 1st over - 0 run(s), 0 hit(s), 0 error(s), 0 left on base; Chicago 0 - Grand Rapids 0
Bottom of the 1st over - 0 run(s), 1 hit(s), 0 error(s), 1 left on base; Chicago 0 - Grand Rapids 0
Top of the 2nd over - 0 run(s), 0 hit(s), 0 error(s), 0 left on base; Chicago 0 - Grand Rapids 0
Bottom of the 2nd over - 0 run(s), 0 hit(s), 0 error(s), 0 left on base; Chicago 0 - Grand Rapids 0
