Descrição do livro

Whether you have a desire to be an Official Scorer at the Major League level, want to be the best Scorer that your child’s Youth League has ever had, or are simply a baseball nerd that wants to know as much about the game as possible - this book will have something for you.

First test your knowledge by answering challenging multiple choice questions on the subject of the scoring rules. Then grade yourself with the answers that are shown at the back of the book along with their detailed explanations.

Here you will learn (along with much, much more):

For the Official Scorer

  • When should the official scorer speak up and when should he keep his mouth shut. Should he alert the umpire when the umpire loses count of the outs? Should he alert anyone when a batter is out of order?
  • Should the stats count when a game is forfeited during the middle of the game?
  • How do you balance the score card and why must this be done?
  • When a batter reaches base on catcher interference, how is this scored? And how does it affect the batter’s batting average? The pitcher’s ERA?
  • Does a pitcher “earn” the run when his error leads to the run scoring?

For the fans and students of the game:

  • Hack Wilson holds the major league record for RBI in one season (191). What exactly is a RBI? Can you “bat in” a run without actually hitting the ball? Do you get an RBI when a run scores after hitting into a double play? Can you “bat yourself in”
  • Babe Ruth is the all-time career leader in slugging percentage at .6897 What is a slugging percentage and how is it calculated?
  • Can you be credited with a putout on a play without even touching the ball? (this is related to “balancing the scorecard”).
  • How can there be more than 1 assist on a play?
  • Can an error be charged on a play where the batter does not reach base and no runners advance?
  • Under what conditions can a player be charged with an error for a mental mistake?
  • Numerous pitchers hold the major league record with 4 strikeouts in a single inning. How is it possible for a pitcher to have more than 3 strikeouts in an inning.
  • How can a pitcher give up a home run, and the run not be “earned”?
  • Is it possible for a player’s batting average to be higher than his on-base percentage?
  • And much, much more.
