Being a baseball fan and occasional iPad user has made me incredibly stoked for the new Pennant app. The Pennant app can best be described as an epic baseball app. This app houses almost every bit and piece of baseball history and information from 1950 onward.
When I say epic, I mean finding out who made the last out of a Yankees-Mets game in 1981. Baseball is all about stats, and this app is filled with all of the meaningless and near-holy stats that make baseball great. You could always buy a set of baseball books, or you could spend $5 and download the Pennant app today.
