This program was made based on the "recent" (June/July 2021) discovery of the stats by myself. I've had a version of this in the works for a long time now, but I'm finally confident enough to release this publicly. Should you find any errors, please leave a comment as it would help quite a bit.

FEATURES:
12
- Player Finders for 1997, 2001 and 2003 that allow you to look up the stats for every player in each game, even including a "Search By" tab you can use to look up to see who the best players are at each stat.

- A Team Builder for both 2001 and 2003 that allows you to view what an AI team will look like when built in Season Mode with as much accuracy as possible (lower difficulties might ignore this information), which can easily be edited using this website's "Player Swapper": https://snailmemes.com/Backyard_Baseball/index.html
[Should be worth noting some players' names are misspelled]

- An easy to use Custom Player Creator that allows you to quickly make a custom player and even contains a code for them to easily import them into your season's .c## file under "names0=" "backupstats0=". The player you make is also compatible with the Player Finders and the Team Builders.

- There's also a Field Profiles section that allows you to view how the ball interacts on the field. This is still not developed very far, but it has some basic stats.

- You can also look up the release points for every player's pitching, to see which ones are the wackiest to play against.

- You can also look at the differences between versions for balance or name changes. Pretty self-explanatory.

There's still some stuff to test (I have to add the original game's graphics for Player Finder 97 too), but for the most part this program should work fine for anyone to use.

BUG FIXES:
17
2.02 (11/30/2022) - Fixed some improper stats for pro clones that I forgot about.

2.01 (7/29/2022) - Fixed a bug with Tony's buff only getting applied to the 2003 team builder and not the 2001 one.

2.00 (7/07/2022) - Changed the Team Builder UI to be easier to read and also added a ton of new features and data.
- Added Cloney to the Team Builder player list, as a placeholder.
- Added more data to the Field Profiles section.
- Added a "Pitch Release Points" section for those looking to see where the ball spawns for each player when pitched.
- More bug fixes, as usual.

1.07 (5/16/2022) - Fixed multiple errors accidentally showing lefty batters + righty throwers backwards

1.06 (5/11/2022) - Fixed an error that incorrectly states Pete's birthday being in September (should be October)

1.05 (4/28/2022) - Fixed a bug with the player finders that incorrectly display the Big Freeze value for custom kids as nothing. Also fixed the Starting P priority.

1.04 (4/25/2022) - Fixed a bug in the 01 Team Builder that displays info from the 03 stats on certain batting positions.

1.03 (4/02/2022) - Fixed the priority for 1B, SS and C so that the tiebreaker is who is higher on the list. It used to prefer pro players because it referenced the previous ordering, but now it resets the order every time which SHOULD work fine.

1.02 (3/26/2022) - The Team Builder didn't properly use pro slots in order of top to bottom but rather alphabetically. Should be fixed now.

1.01 (3/26/2022) - Fixed some of the Backyard Kid boosts referring to the 2003 Player Finder in the 2001 Player Finder.
