I've been going down the rabbit hole of baseball stats, scorekeeping and sports on-line.

Erik Berg's summary of SportsML, and his ongoing project to record all MLB Box Scores in XML is worth your attention.

Major League Baseball has their own undocumented but pitch-by-pitch complete xml feed of gameday news. I was hoping today's Mets/Brewers game would have projected lineups, but it's not up yet. Take a look at what they have for yesterday's game.

Scorepad offers a free trial of their scoresheet software for the Palm. I want to try this, but it looks like a little bit of a pain.

Chris Nandor's Game::Baseball::Scorecard is a free perl interface to Chris Swingle's PDF Scorecards. Chris's scorecards are the nicest I've found on-line, which may have something to do with the triangulation of his other hobbies: bookbinding, baking bread, and woodoworking.
