"Watching" old baseball games... [View all]

There is, or was, a site where one could watch a graphic play-by-play of a past baseball game based on the box score. The screen was similar to one of the text-driven simulation games: a generic ballpark with the names of the players in their positions, and then a textual description of the result of each at-bat, with runners set on base when appropriate and the official scoring of the play in a box under the field. The site drew on the box scores of thousands of games dating back at least as far as the 1950's, maybe more.

I can't remember the URL of the archive, which I lost in my last computer meltdown, so in desperation I'm, asking if anybody here knows WTF I'm talking about. Mr Google has been of no help.
