SUGGESTION:

Automated game recaps. (See below for examples from Strat-o-matic Baseball which, by the way, has had them for many years.)

REASON:

Immersive effect.

PRIORITY:

Medium.

EXAMPLE 1:

Hank Aaron slammed 3 homeruns as the Kansas City Athletics topped the Des Moines Dusters in 16 innings by a score of 7 to 6 at Municipal Stadium.

The score was tied at 5 after nine. Kansas City won the game in the 16th inning. After two outs Smokey Burgess lashed a single. Frank Bolling was next and he doubled giving Kansas City the victory as 47,425 happy fans celebrated wildly. Despite losing, Des Moines out-hit Kansas City 16 to 13.

The victory went to Gary Peters(2-3) who went 3 innings, allowing no runs. Lew Burdette(1-1) was the loser in relief. 'I've spent a lot of time in the cage and made some adjustments and they've paid off,' Aaron said. 'I just take the same approach up there. I don't overanalyze it. I go up there, see the ball and try to put a good swing on it.'

EXAMPLE 2:

In a great finish the Oneonta Tigers won in dramatic fashion over the Peoria Chiefs by a score of 4 to 3 at Tiger Stadium.

Oneonta had the game winning rally in the 9th inning with 2 runs using 2 hits. Carl Yastrzemski led off and started the attack as he stroked a one-base hit. After an out was recorded, Ron Fairly stepped in and he smashed a two-run homer (his 3rd of the season) resulting in an exciting win for Oneonta and a raucous post-game celebration by the home town fans. Oneonta finished with just 6 hits in the victory.

Galen Cisco(1-0) went 1 inning allowing 1 run for the victory. The losing pitcher was Jack Lamabe(0-2) in relief. The Oneonta ballclub's record now stands at 8-7. With the loss Peoria now has a record of 12-7.
