A game summary engine based on WPA (win probability added) and XML. WPA would tell you the crucial events in the game, and the engine would then write a sentence or up to a paragraph describing what happened. The text description of the events would be stored in english.xml, which would have multiple descriptions of common baseball events. Through the use of tokens, the text of the article would be highly customized.
