I started scoring a couple of years ago with some scorecards I printed from websites (baseballscorecard.com being one of them) I found when searching "how to score a game". I now make up my own scorecards with two teams on one sheet and stats I care about. I'll score from television, radio and in-person as it makes no difference how you take the game in. Although, I will say that a lot of the younger broadcasters today don't always help the scorer out and often tend to gloss over some things in a game, so if you are not paying close attention you're apt to miss something. The older broadcasters (who almost always score the game as they call it) will usually give all the details for "those scoring at home". Scoring is a lot of fun and keeps your head in the game which also adds to the experience. It helps you see a lot of the little things you otherwise might miss and it gives you that clear record of the game that you can refer to at anytime you wish.

I never learned though. A few years ago a friend who wasn't a baseball fan was invited to 3 games in 2 weeks (2 Cardinals, 1 MU Tigers). He decided that he should learn to score and turned to the internet. I learned from the websites he found. Now it is an important part of what I do when I go to games. I even have a book that I can take with me to keep all of my games in one place.

This site is geared towards offering men helpful information (though we love our women readers!). So, if I try to write about stuff that I think men will find interesting and useful. I'm not trying to create a debate about "Is this manly or not?" @ Dad of Divas- Yeah, scoring a baseball game by hand brings back a lot of memories for me, too. Some of my fondest memories as a kid was going to the minor league games in OKC, eating soft serve ice cream from a mini-batter's helmet , and keeping score. @ Victor- Great advice on "just doing it." As you do it, you'll start developing a system and you'll notice your cards getting better and better. @ all- Keeping score isn’t per se a manly art.
