Or you want something more specific to the user? 2) since baseball is about pennants, some type of flag/banner that would show each championship and season won. The trophies on history page are ok but just don't do it for me Each team has a history page that describes this. 3) a listing of each MVP, Cy Young, ROY and Rookie pitcher and year won Okay. 4) a short description of the city the users team , similar to Wiki or Google or even from cities own home page I like this idea, but it might take some time to implement. There are hundreds of cities in the system at this point. Steve

Pennants on user page in team colors would be awesome in my opinion 4) even copy/ paste would be time consuming but feel a bit of geography lesson / background info would be informative and interesting I know time and effort is needed for both 2 and especially 4 I know you have a busy schedule and long to do list, just felt this is an area that needs a bit of a makeover Keep up the good work!

It is greatly appreciated!!

A running log for all to see of any game changes would help new players know what changes have been made and also make sure current players are informed of any game change. Even if there is no information listing what is being worked on or what new plans are being considered.

And as long as Steve isn't making any money off this, I don't think we should ask him for timelines. We all have enough pressure at work.

The pace, as well as the input we as players get, is astonishing. I doubt I'm alone in my appreciation for the work and dedication Steve has obviously put in, and continues to put in, to Broken Bat.
