BASEBALL FACTS is a comprehensive database program with which
you can examine the history of baseball since 1901. Career statistics
about Hall of Fame players are provided as well as awards and titles
such as: Most Valuable Players, Cy Young Award Winners, and Rookies
of the Year. Other menu options included are all-time career and all-time
season leaders, many statistical leaders (batting champs and pitching
champs), World Series Winners, World Series Most Valuable Players,
and Pennant Winners.
BASEBALL FACTS is very easy to use. For each menu option a help
line displays a brief description of the appropriate action to take.
USING THE MENUS
The Bar Menu choices across the top of the display can be selected using
the left and right arrow keys, or by pressing the key of the highlighted
letter of the desired selection. (For example, if you'd like to look at "NL
Award Winners," use the left and right keys to highlight the topic or
simply press [N].) This will open up a Sub Menu.
The Sub Menu choices can be selected by using the up and down arrow
keys and pressing [ENTER], or by pressing the key of the highlighted
number for the desired selection. (For example, if you'd like to look at
"Strikeout Leaders," use the down arrow key to highlight the topic and
press [ENTER], or simply type [8].)
After you have selected an option from the Sub Menu, the facts found
will be displayed in a window which can be scrolled up or down with the
up and down arrows, [PgUp], [PgDn], [HOME] and [END] keys. To
return to the Main Menu, press [ESC].
SEARCHES
By Year: In the "Search" Sub Menu, select "Search By Name" and press
[ENTER], or just press [1]. Type in a year from 1901 thru 1991 (4 digits
must be entered). All awards, titles, and Hall of Fame inductees for that
year will be displayed.
By Name: To search for the statistics of a specific player, open the
"Search" Sub Menu by highlighting "Search" or by pressing [S]. Then
select "Search by Name" and press [ENTER], or simply press [2]. Type
the player's full last name and press [ENTER]. If that player has won any
awards or titles, or has been inducted into the Hall of Fame, his statistics
will be displayed. To look at another player, type [ESC].
If you're not quite sure of the player's name or how to spell it, enter
fewer letters (3 letters minimum) and press [ENTER]. BASEBALL
FACTS will give you a list of every player with a name similar to the
one you typed.
ENDING BASEBALL FACTS
To get out of BASEBALL FACTS, select "Quit" from the Bar Menu or
type [Q]. Then press [1] or [ENTER] to return to DOS.
