It certainly isn’t easy getting across the nuances of any sport, but I will valiantly try anyway! I have to say that trying to score a game helped massively in getting across the ‘little things’ in baseball – I’ll be writing something up very soon. Suffice to say, I really enjoyed it and can see how it can really enhance watching baseball.

For those who are uninitiated or uninterested it can look like very little is going on. That’s far from the truth and it’s as ridiculous an accusation as the common American objection to football on the grounds that it’s often low scoring and therefore uneventful and boring.

I particularly enjoyed how your attention to the imperfections that are part and parcel of any game including the few complete, perfect games that are pitched. There’s something very suggestive in that fact.

I, for one, am very eager to hear your thoughts on scoring a game for the first time as well as any other baseball reflections you care to share.
