Brackets are pain incarnate. Consider switching to another ML like YAML that rightfully does away with them. (Doesn't have to be YAML, just using that as an example).

Also, the fact that new versions of the game stomp all over customizations of a relatively simple, user-editable file is bad. Consider having a setting like for uniforms: where different teams and eras can have different PbP files. Having a Harry Caray-alike or a Vin Scully-alike announcing games would be an incredible experience.

Heck, the fanbase will probably do most of the work for you, if you just provide the capability.

Love the game, thanks for making it! <3
