The data is coming directly from mlb.com, who provides a json feed for non-commercial use. I hope this continues to qualify, since I'm not running ads. :)

Another free option for data that a friend of mine uses:

http://developer.fanfeedr.com/

2400 API pulls a day for free and I think it includes all the major sports.

There was another site called Boxscore Junkie using that data that was quite nice. It had scores, detailed boxscores, and pitchFX data. Unfortunately it was apparently shut down a legal threat from MLB.

Ouch. I'll have to find another data source. I have to look into FanFeedr, which someone mentioned, maybe that'll work for me.

Yeah, that seems non-commercial.

One suggestion: After the initial team search, it would be nice to be able to browse the teams or games somehow. I liked the surprise of the score and description, and it would be cool to easily browse or view a random game or something like that.
