Well, Newby... you've been throwing this one around a lot :)

its obvious you want a bunch of this data... you could do something like this. 

my %data;
my $latest = '';
while(<INPUT>) {
  chomp;
  if(/^([A-Z]+)\s*/) { #a line with all caps... new section
    $latest = $1; #what section are we in
    next; #go to next line
  }
  if($latest) { 
    ## Next line handles $data{$latest} as an anonymous
    ## array, allowing you to store all the lines for
    ## each section that way
    push @{$data{$latest}}, $_; #just puts the line in, you could proc
+ess it somehow 
  }
}

Now $data{PITCHING} holds a ref to an array of all the lines in the PITCHING section... etc, etc... that help?
