Robby,

Actually, the stuff I'm talking about is admin stuff for an already
existing league.  I'm not that ambitious that I would create a
baseball sim using Cake.  Check out the site at http://www.ibl.org to
get a feel for what we're doing.  My team is the Monrovia Madness.

Already use that info to generate standings, so I've got it covered.

We (meaning the league) use data from Retrosheet to create the card
game our league uses.  As a further aside, my current employers are a
stats data company, and one of our projects is to provide info from
Retrosheet to some of our clients.
