Keeping score by hand is the best way to watch a baseball game and, to my eternal chagrin, hardly anyone does it anymore.
You can have a lot of stories in a baseball scorecard, one reason I love doing it. Anyway, feeling seen!
"When the Phils lost the NLCS last year, I wrote “I hate everything” in the notes section of my scorecard and then flipped back a few pages to bask in the warm embrace of a game in July where we hit a million home runs. It helped, a little."
