And that was before Pujols really got going. (Speaking of which, a fabulous read from Roger Angell, at The New Yorker, here.)

    Does anyone know what the rest of this book looks like? Does it just stop after 6 innings (e.g. it’s designed for a journalist that leaves the game early to get their report to the paper before the print deadline), or does it continue onto the next page? If it continues onto the next page: why? What’s the advantage that’s worth trading off a large (the size of the binding plus margins) gap between innings? I don’t think I’ve seen a scorecard like this, so I’m really curious how and why it works.
