Scoring
Back to Table of Contents
For some, a perk to scoring a game is to be able to glance at the scorecard decades later and replay all the game-day action. For example, Deidre’s dad still has his scorecard from the last game of the 1963 World Series in which the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Sandy Koufax pitched against—and beat—the Yankees’ Whitey Ford. It was a big year for Koufax, who also won that year’s MVP, Cy Young, and the Triple Crown of pitching, a rare award achieved only when a pitcher leads the league or ties for the lead in strikeouts, wins, and ERA. While Dad’s card has become a neat piece of memorabilia, you may have no desire to keep scorecards for more than forty years. That’s okay; sometimes scoring just a game, a team, or only a couple innings is its own goal. Why? Because it’s different, enjoyable, and you will see some things on the field that you wouldn’t ordinarily notice.. . . .
