New free TouchChat template: MLB

Five linked TouchChat boards for MLB fans: all 30 teams by their logos, American League then National League, the positions and the words of the game, a day at the ballpark and the season.

A baseball game is three hours of talking: calling the plays, arguing with the umpire, and the rituals of the ballpark. So the Game Day board carries the words fans really use, nice catch, going, going, gone, grand slam, bad call, I can’t watch, I caught a ball, beside the seventh inning stretch, Take Me Out to the Ball Game, peanuts and hot dogs. A long game is also crowds, noise and waiting, so the main board carries the feelings of a game, too loud and I need a break included, one tap from the first board.

All 30 teams are on one board, the American League then the National League, each in division order and shown by its logo, so a fan finds their team by the cap they already know. Each button says the team name the way fans say it: Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs.
