Batter-pitcher i[Apple] app

Someone want to check this out?

Tom:

I was wondering if you would be interested in taking a look at an iPhone app that I released earlier this year called Batter vs. Pitcher.  Much like the Pennant iPad app, it incorporates the Retrosheet.org professional baseball play-by-play event data, but that is where the similarity ends.  My app focuses on batter/pitcher match ups, providing summary stats and at-bat details.  These stats can be invaluable to people researching the history of the game or fantasy baseball players looking for information to give them an edge on who to sit and who to start.  There is also a game mode in the app that baseball enthusiasts should like.

If you have an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, and you would like to try the app out, here is a link to the app in the iTunes App Store:

Here is a promotional code so that you can get the BvP app for free:

(removed.  email and tell him Tango sent you; I don’t know if he will give it to you, but I sure hope he gives it out to at least 5 of you guys )

Also, there is a free “Lite” version of the app available at this link:

If you don’t have a device that the app is compatible with, please feel free to pass the promotional code along to someone who will use it.  And if you do use the code, please let me know if you have any questions or problems, or any comments or ideas you might have about the app.  Thanks for your time.
