My Nan and my Aunt would tune into EVERY Blue Jays game from a house on a rock in the middle of nowhere and do these sheets - thanks for taking me back!
Just finishing up Tuesday night trivia at my favorite local bar and then watching the O’s take on the Angels. I’ve never learned to take score much to my embarrassment.
Curious, is this something to do like a Sudoku puzzle. It occupies your time but you’ll never go back to it when it’s over? Or this something you’ll look back on?
I’ve done this since I was a kid. I do it for basketball too. Just a way to get more involved in the game. I’m a stat nerd so that is half the fun of sports for me. I do not document or keep records though, usually throw away immediately after the game is over.
MLB hates you. They black me out from listening to Red Sox games on the MLB Roku channel. I guess I’m supposed to listen on the radio, which is in my car.
Now Yankee fans will finally be able to know for sure who's at bat, who's pitching, what the pitch was, if the ball was hit and where... Nobody loved the sound of his voice more than he did.
He made a couple mistakes when he got older but he was the goat. My favorite broadcaster of all time. He knew how to really make you feel the energy of the game
If you know someone who knows how, ask them to let you watch for a game. By the end of it, it’ll be a piece of cake. That’s how we learned in little league; we just watched our coach and learned pretty quick.
Keeping a record of the game is fun- what happened last at bat? No way that guy is going to swing at the same stupid pitch again or is he? And how many time is Corey Seager going to swing at the first pitch? Just a way to stay engaged…
Silly thought of the day: I wonder if you could record a radio broadcast of a game, and upload it to something like ChatGPT (it accepts and transcribes audio as a prompt) and then ask it to output the box score for the game
I'm from Dallas, love seeing this - I listen to games on the radio also, including my other sport love which is Hockey. It's so great to listen and use your imagination to "see" the game and the excitement is far better when it comes from the radio.
I have that same radio - love it!! Battery operated but also has a plug for when you’re at home. When I first brought to the dugout to put on the game during practice a few years ago all the kids thought it was some new invention lol.
This makes me miss my nan oh so much.. The greatest woman in the would and I mean that. She married my grandfather later in life once his wife passed but she always felt like blood. Her son pitched for the Orioles but she was a Yankees fan at heart. The reason I like the Yankees today is before of her. I hope she is watching everyday, somewhere. I miss her so fucking much.
I’ve always wanted to score a baseball game but I’ve never taken the time to understand the sheet. I know it’s pretty simple so I need to get some and do it one game. I think it would be fun.
Upvote for some old-school, hyper-tech free fun. Love it man.
