You are misunderstanding how it works.

When the program runs, it scans many different files. 1st, it scans all of the player's history files. Inside the history file, it looks for key words, like 'Round 1', 'career', 'goes', 'was the'. If if finds one, it then checks the date the event happened.

With the 'goes', that would be for the 5 hits. As in 'Jim Rice goes 5-5...' Now with the 5 hits, it will ONLY add this to the hint file when it has happened 'this' year. While other events, such as a milestone is added based on the 'year limit' parameter.

It adds all of these 'hints' into a file called hints.txt. This file is used be displayed during the autosimming, saving of game, loading of game or other 'delays' in the game.

It replaces the old tips like 'There was never a no-hitter at Forbes Field'. When it comes up is entirely random.
