As you'll see it's similar to Knowledge (XXG), but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. You've done such great work on Knowledge (XXG) I was hoping you could help me get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Let me know what you think. Thanks! 3181: 31: 2290: 3144: 2680:.
