All the info is on the scoreboards and screens. You can get all of the stats online after the game. You can even watch the game again on MLB.com, and should you see yourself on TV making crazy faces and jumping up and down with your cell phone, you can even download the game from MLB.com.

It helps one keep track of the game. Just because you can't understand something doesn't mean that _it_ is stupid - in this case, the opposite is true.

It's not stupid at all. Keeping score of the game themselves is something a lot of people (including myself) really enjoy. It gives me a play-by-play record of the game, if I score it correctly. Some people watch baseball for the joy and poetry of the game itself, something that a shallow person such as yourself would not understand. Joe Posnanski, where are you when we need you???

The reason people keep score at baseball games is so they can remember the game years later. I have kept score at games since the late 70s and when I look at those old scoresheets it brings the game back to life. Don

i still do it at every game i go to, it gets me more into the game, keeping track of every pitch...the counts that the player hits it on,...etc. And, yes, i could get this information after the game, (which i usually do, especially to check if i scored it right) but i'm fascinated with baseball statistics...and collecting them myself is all the better

...and if you ask most people about me, i'm pretty sure they won't tell you that i'm stupid..(especially for taking stats at baseball games)

Don and Goldeneye are NOT stupid. If keeping score at the game gives them pleasure, then that is their way to enjoy the game. That Don looks at his scorecards years later and relives games is amazing. I envy him. I have seen many games I'd love to live over again, but I never kept a scorecard. And if keeping a scorecard keeps Golden eye into the game, who the hell are you to say he should not do that? I don't think these guys are "stupid." I think they are smart, and the question itself is "stupid."

Chow!!

Well I remember going to a game with my father, and him teaching me how to keep score. I sat there the whole game making everything. now when I go back and look at the program I see the game and relive that moment with my father.

Oddly enough, some people enjoy keeping score.
