How to play: You only play on offense in this game. Click on one of the three spinners on the left side of the screen, and you will get one of the three potential results from it. The spinner is then removed and replaced with a new one. The goal is to try and score as many runs as you can in five innings. (The number of innings can be changed in the options.txt file).

The names.txt file contains names from some late 19th and early 20th century baseball rosters, plus a few I made up. The first and last names are parsed out and then shuffled to create the random player names for the game. You can add additional names to the file if you want. Note that each name must be first and last only, with a space in between.
