Scoring baseball may be your step toward understanding America's pastime.
Baseball's reputation suffers at the hands of an uneducated public. It's a running joke that watching baseball is like, for example, watching paint dry or grass grow.
If that's been your opinion, you owe it to yourself to learn what you've been missing.
I had played baseball as a youth and in high school and was working as a sportswriter before I learned there was so much I missed while watching a game. How was this revealed to me? Not through some epiphany or under the tutelage of a baseball master but by having to interpret games for baseball-savvy readers.
That's when scoring baseball games slowly opened up the sport to me.
I struggled through, leaning on helpful coaches and veteran writers, but today's information-packed world puts in-depth baseball scoring knowledge at your fingertips. If you want to learn to love the game, check out this handy instruction booklet.
Play ball!
