4INFO goes to bat for mobile baseball alerts

Text publishing and advertising platform developer 4INFO announced a free service that delivers Major League Baseball scores and player alerts to mobile handsets. The service includes event-triggered text alerts assembling pitching and offensive statistics for teams and individual players, including hits, runs, RBIs and roster and injury status. "For true baseball fans, watching the game is only half the fun. Knowing exactly how every play affects a player's stats can be more exciting than a final game score, especially to those in fantasy leagues," said 4INFO director of product development Ted Burns. "4INFO's event-based alerts deliver the real-time drama of every game directly to the most ardent baseball fans."
