Hardcover. Condition: New. In this unique book, Paul Dickson celebrates one of the most unusual traditions in all of sports--the baseball scorecard. Within the history of the scorecard are some of baseball?s greatest moments. From the first scorecard introduced in 1845, to the scoring system devised by direct-marketing genius L.… L. Bean; from presidential scoring habits to batting titles decided by official scorers, to Phil Rizzuto?s inspired scoring symbol ?WW,? (?Wasn?t Watching?), Dickson delights in his subject, offering unique insights and memorable anecdotes. Among the book?s many illustrations is a gallery of historic scorecards, including Don Larsen?s perfect game in the 1956 World Series, Babe Ruth?s famous ?called? home run, and Cal Ripken?s record-breaking 2,131st consecutive game.? ?In addition, Dickson provides basic and advanced scoring techniques for beginners and experts alike, a year-by-year timeline of rule changes, a guide to baseball?s quirkiest statutes, stories of famous scoring blunders, and many more unexpected rewards. For those who keep or have kept score, this book will be an elixir. For those who haven?t, it will be a revelation. For baseball fans everywhere, it is a treasure.
