I was really hoping this would render a small video in terminal colors.

Regardless, love it and love that you're bringing baseball to it's biggest new market, unix sysadmins.

You can do that with mpv pretty easily.

mpv "http://SOURCEURL" --vo=caca

Example:

mpv "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYQiqBwczB0" --vo=caca

OR, for a higher-quality terminal-rendered video:

mpv "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYQiqBwczB0" --vo=tct

Baseball’s state and state transitions are easily serializable, no need for a lossy video stream :)
