What kind of scorekeeping blog would we be if we didn’t post this one?
From Gabriel Haro on Twitter, an official scorecard from Game 5 of the World Series, the wild, odd 4-2 affair won by the Rangers for a 3-2 advantage in the best-of-7. There is, of course, no symbol that we know of for a telecommunications breakdown. It is the legacy of Game 5 that Tony La Russa and his bullpen staff might as well have used a rolled-up scorecard to talk to each other.
Scorecards inside official game programs can be notoriously difficult to use, mainly because they’re cramped with logos and advertising, but Gabriel seems to have made out just fine. Even has the stats filled out, too, with the 4-0-1-2 for Mike Napoli standing out in our memories forever.
Have a look:
