If a bullet journal and scorecard had a baby, it would be this scorebook.

How it started

I learned how to score in an all girls Catholic high school P.E. class. Random, right? I thought it was neat, but I didn’t really care to keep at it. Too much work. Too much math. It wasn’t fun.

My brother consistently kept score whenever we went to games, and I would only score when he’d have to leave his seat. But even then, my favorite part would be drawing explosions and writing funny facts about what was happening around us.

Fast forward to 2024. I join a lovely community of Dodger fans on Threads, Dodgers win the World Series, and I want to start keeping track of my favorite group of guys.

But all the scorebooks were so official and number-centric. I wanted to track fun stuff— the stuff that makes baseball special for me.

So I made my own.

Balls, Strikes, and Vibes

I gutted all the stat fields I usually don’t use. I used the space to make boxes big enough for doodles. I added a new row to track the emotional roller coaster of each inning. I even have areas for what I’m eating, who I’m watching with, what I’m wearing, and what Dieter Ruehle is playing (IYKYK).

And just for funsies, I also added slam book pages, habit trackers, jinx tracking, and activity pages for the younglings.

I play tested it in the 2025 season at home and at live games when possible, and I’ve found that score keeping is fun for me again.

I love looking back at my scorecards and being able to relive the stress & excitement of each at bat. I love that I can get my family & friends to sign the book during down times. I love that beyond balls & strikes, every score card will be different. And I love that at the end of each game, I’ll have a priceless souvenir.

Cause you know what?

Baseball isn’t boring and your scorebook shouldn’t be either.
