ABSTRACT:: 
We present our design and implementation of a database system of information
storage and retrieval for an electronic baseball scorecard. The program uses
the relational MySQL database to hold information and a Tcl API to handle
interactions between the database and the user interface code. This paper
discusses the inner workings of how information storage was broken down inside
the database, how queries were internally constructed in accordance with the
user's input, and how statistics for players and teams were calculated and
returned to the user. Finally, we discuss some limitations attached to our
current implementation of the program and propose improvements that can be made
in future versions.
