Cousin Kerry kicks it old-school.
One guy sitting in front of us became curious about what she was doing and asked to see it. He looked through the pages, nodding approvingly.

That is awesome.
That really is awesome. The iPhone is so clutch, too. You can always verify the official scoring — makes for less erasures in the book!
OK. Time to admit it. The O’Malley women are “F’n awesome, Man!”
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a two 6-4-3’s in a row like that 3rd inning… Jeter missed the out at 2nd twice in a row?!
Noonz – that is just what Kerry was doing, cross-referencing like crazy!
Ha! I keep score at *every* game and have my own season score card. I can’t tell you how many people have made comments about it. I am, evidently, an curiosity to most fans in the seat. The people in our section know that they can ask me for the pitch count (yes, I count pitches) since Wrigley’s scoreboard is also old-school. I love that Kerry keeps score!
Way cool. You just made me think of an old friend who would do the same thing at games–I’d never seen it done until I sat with him.
I keep the pitch count, too! I love seeing other people’s scorecards because everyone does them a little differently. For me, the dots in the lower left-hand corner are fouls, dots in the upper left hand corner are pick-off attempts (that helps me see when a runner is rattling the pitcher), and the numbers next to the diamond refer to how the runner advanced (i.e. if there is a 7, the runner advanced on the 7th batter). Everybody has a system of their own. My friend Blake does his in color — red for outs, green for balls in play, and he also keeps track of where the ball was hit. I thought it got too messy when I did that. :-)
Oh, and the two 6-4-3’s means that those were the two outs — I don’t bracket them, I just put 6-4-3 in each spot. The third batter was out at 2nd (for out number 2), the 4th batter was out at first for out number 3.
Oh, and the guy sitting in front of us was an official scorekeeper for a minor league team. He says he brackets his double plays.
I kind of wish I had talked to him more.
I was the scorekeeper for my high school cricket team, and thought I managed a nicely complex scoring methodology, but I see I was but a novice!I yield to the greater skills of thee…to me, that all looks very much like the seating chart I made for my wedding reception…
Awesome! My dad does the same thing at games, or even watching them at home. Love this.
my favorite is the last picture. you caught her in scoring mode. love it!
