I'd like to see a box score when "Show the details" is clicked. (As opposed to the line score. I note some are calling what you now display a "box score.")

what's the difference between a box score and a line score? Sorry. I'm not really a baseball fan. :)
Edit: Thanks to wikipedia, I realize that you want player stats for the game. The feed I get doesn't include them, so I'd have to use another source.

A box score lists the players and gives summary statistics for each player. A line score just gives scoring by inning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_score_(baseball)
1) Are there more details that I should add? I'm hesitant to add more noise to the page, which is why I leave it hidden, but if enough people want it by default, I'll definitely change it.
2) I am storing the scores for each game I've captured, so it's definitely possible. I'll put it on the list of things to do.
