Author Description

The world's finest baseball scorebook, Play Ball! is a must-have item for the serious baseball fan. Crafted with utmost care and precise attention to detail, it far surpasses other baseball scorebooks on the market. The cover features a classic woodcut illustration of the Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey, where the first baseball game was played in 1846. The scorebook is spiral-bound with a heavy-duty backing that makes it perfect to take to the ballpark. It contains 170 scoresheets, enough to score 85 full games-- twice as many as most scorebooks. The introduction provides instructions and examples of how to keep score. Pre-printed diamonds make scoring easy for those who use the diamond method, and for those who don't, the diamonds are light enough to be easily written over. There is also ample space for inserting substitutions and relief pitchers. The book is 8.5 by 11 inches in size, and the scoresheet provides enough space for a nine-position batting order and 10 innings of play.
