Standings Help
While standard games are being played, the baseball
standings appear on the screen, changing daily with the
new results.
There are three column headings:
W: stands for wins.
L: means losses.
GB: is short for "games behind," which is the difference
in wins plus the difference in losses, divided by two.
In other words, this is the number games the team behind
would have to win and the team in front would have to
lose to have a tie.
At the bottom is a single button:
GAME SCORES: Click on 'game scores' to see the score of
each game as it comes in.

Playoff Results Help
When the playoffs begin, line scores of the individual
games replace the baseball standings. Here you can
follow the playoffs as the games are being played.
Next to each line score is a 'more' button. Click on one
of these to see the full box score for that game. You may
select 'more' while the playoffs are in progress (which
will pause the playing of the games while you look at the
box) or after they have been completed.

Batting Box Score Help
This is a typical baseball box score for the game, batters
only. The hitters are listed according to the batting
order of the game, with substitutions indented underneath
the players they replaced.
Along the bottom of the screen are six buttons:
DONE: click here to leave the box score screen.
SAVE: select 'save' to preserve this box as an "all time"
box score. The program will save the box on the hard
disk so you can look at it later using "special box
scores" on the season menu.
DELETE: the opposite of 'save,' 'delete' removes the box
from the all time box scores list.
MORE: If the box score contains too many batters to fit on
the screen at once, click on 'more' to see the rest.
SEE 'other team': click here to see the batters of the
other team.
PITCHING: to see the pitching portion of the box score, as
well as the inning-by-inning line score, and the time
and attendance of the game, click on 'pitching.'
Use the function keys, F5 and F6, to print box scores:
F5: prints the screen: the computer sends what you see to
the printer, plus an extra "how they scored" section.
F6: appends the box score, including a "how they scored"
section to the contents of the file, boxscore.txt. You
may print this file, or use any text editor to look at
what's in it.
Glossary of column heading abbreviations:
AB: at bats
BB: bases on balls (walks)
CS: caught stealing
D: doubles
E: errors
H: hits
HR: home runs
R: runs scored
RBI: runs batted in
SB: stolen bases
SO: strike outs

game. The pitchers are listed in order of appearance.
Additional game information is displayed below the players:
WP: the winning pitcher
LP: the losing pitcher
SV: the pitcher who got the save (if any)
TIME: how long it took to play the game
ATTENDANCE: the attendance of the game
PLAYED AT 'team name': where the game was played. An
"(n)" means the game was a night game.
Near the bottom of the screen is an inning-by-inning line
score of the game. The visiting team is on top, home on
the bottom. If the game lasted more than 10 innings,
only the last 10 are displayed. The column abbreviations
are "R" (runs), "H" (hits), and "E" (errors).
