Guest Scoresheet #4: Isaac Lin, PHI @ MON 9/24/2004



Scorer: Isaac Lin
Game: PHI @ MON, 9/24/2004

Here is Isaac's description of his scoresheets (a second example will be posted next week):

"I use my own version of Alex Reisner's situational scoring
scoresheet (I based it on the one he made available before branding
his system the Reisner system). The primary change I made was to
remove some redundancy in the pitch count section, in order to make
room for notes.

The last Expos game I attended was their last home victory ever, on
Friday, September 24, 2004, against Philadelphia. I was a bit late and
so didn't score the first four Phillie batters. I just realized now
that I mislabelled my note on the distance for Termel Sledge's HR; it
should be marked as a note for box 22. In the top of the 7th, a group
came down from the bleachers and lined up in the walkway behind the
lower tier of the 1st base-side stands, each person holding one
letter, spelling out a plea: "Jackie Robinson and Montreal made history
Mr. Selig keep the memory alive!" Alas, it was for naught...

I watched the last Expos game ever on TV: October 4, 2004, against
New York. The broadcasters kept raising random bits of trivia, like
there were 620 Expos players in 36 seasons, and I wrote down a few
of them. In the top of the ninth, some of the fans started chanting
"Let's go Expos", a nice nod to history. First base coach Jerry
Morales gave the game ball to Frank Robinson. It was a sad moment for
me to see the end of the Expos. Normally I fill in the game totals
after the last pitch, but I wasn't able to bring myself to do it, and
they remain blank."

Guest Scoresheet #3: Mark Davey, MIL @ MIN 5/22/2009



Scorer: Mark Davey
Website: BaseballBingo.org
Game: MIL @ MIN, 5/22/2009

Mr. Davey sent me the first five innings of a scoresheet using his linear scorecard, a download and full description of which you can find at his website. The linear scorecard is inspired by Alex Reisner's plain-paper system, allowing one to keep a Project Scoresheet account of the game on a very simple form. Since it is based on the Project Scoresheet system, scoring is completely linear with no backtracking. Mark's form allows one to keep a game in the plain-paper style while still having a pre-printed form to use.

Guest Scoresheet #2: Daniel Wind, All-Star Game, 7/14/2009




Scorer: Daniel Wind
Game: All-Star Game, 7/14/2009
Scorecard source: Baseball Scorecard

Here is Daniel's description of his scorecards:

"My own particular quirk is that I usually bring two pens to a game, to match each team's colors (as much as you really can out of a pack of five pens). I realize this is insane, but it makes the cards look a lot nicer. And since this particular game was probably the only chance I'd ever get to see an All-Star Game in person, I figured I might as well go all out and match the colors to the teams of each individual player. (My one disappointment was that Andrew Bailey didn't get into the game--brought my green pen for nothing.)"

Guest Scoresheet #1: David Solomon, MIL @ STL 10/2/2009






Scorer: David Solomon
Website(s): Twitter @solomonsside, ktrs.com
Game: MIL @ STL, 10/2/2009

The first guest submission comes from David Solomon of KTRS in St. Louis. David kept this sheet from the press box and actually entered the scoring directly into Excel, which he experimented with for the last few games of the season. (Previously, he printed the sheet and scored on paper).
