It's nice to be able to look at every player's line. The funny thing is I like it the other way when looking at the opposition, mainly because if they hit a homer I can see if they are a slugger by seeing their HR total for the season.

But to maintain it over any length of time, makes the database grow exponentially. In terms of box score format for extra base hits, I think we'll probably stick with all columns. Some people like it one way, other prefer the other way -- its mostly a matter of personal preference. Steve Updated Friday, November 7 2014 @ 1:22:17 pm PST

For example, in the profile section you could add a short drop down menu like the one for the skin of the website. I know this is more complicated than the skin, but just an idea.

In order to support both formats, I'd have to generate two different complete box scores. Additionally box scores are one of the real drivers of the DB size. So that size would double. Steve
