The Score


The baseball stadium got a big upgrade in its electronic display boards during the off season. Now they approach the quality of a high definition television, at least from a distance. The section here shows the scores and other information about other games played on the day we attended. I'm sure it's baffling to people who don't know the sport. (E.g., Toronto Blue Jays at Boston Red Sox, Boston leading 4 to 1 in the bottom of the third inning, two outs and no one on base for Boston. Holt hitting, Dickey pitching. Five hits for Boston, one for Toronto. Neither team has committed an error. Q.E.D.

A bit confusing I must admit. There is a baseball league in Sweden, and there are something like nine teams in and around Stockholm so I guess I should try to see a game one day.

Indeed totally incomprehensible. But it is indeed making an entrance also in the Netherlands as 2 children of my neighbors are playing it.

I can see that being a bit baffling for some, though I can also see it coming in handy later in the season when one's keeping track of what other teams are doing when playoffs statuses are at risk.
