The practice had been around for decades, ever since <a href=\"https:\/\/sabr.org\/bioproj\/person\/436e570c\">Henry Chadwick<\/a> pioneered the art of keeping score in 1859.<\/p>\n<p>But Robinson was something new to the major leagues. Dodgers general manager <a href=\"http:\/\/baseballhall.org\/hof\/rickey-branch\">Branch Rickey<\/a>\u2019s gamble to break baseball\u2019s color barrier with a 28-year-old infielder from California was not only groundbreaking, it was history in the making.<\/p>\n<p>On April 10, 1947, Rickey issued a statement that read, &#8220;The Brooklyn Dodgers today purchased the contract of Jackie Roosevelt Robinson from the Montreal Royals. He will report immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Five days later, Barber not only wrote a black man\u2019s name on a major-league scorecard for the first time, he changed his outlook on race completely.<\/p>\n<p>Team captain Pee Wee Reese, a white shortstop from Kentucky, was one player who led the way in accepting Robinson as a teammate and as a major leaguer. \u201cI was just trying to make the world a little bit better,\u201d Reese said. \u201cThat\u2019s what you\u2019re supposed to do with your life, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Inspired in part by Reese, Barber came to accept Robinson, as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing raised in the South, when the black ballplayers came, I had to begin thinking differently,\u201d Barber said. \u201cI had to understand with clear eyes that I should \u2014 and must \u2014 accept him equally as I did other players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And so on that fateful April afternoon in Brooklyn, Red Barber penciled in the name \u201cRobinson\u201d on his scorecard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[[{&#8220;type&#8221;:&#8221;media&#8221;,&#8221;view_mode&#8221;:&#8221;media_original&#8221;,&#8221;fid&#8221;:&#8221;3478&#8243;,&#8221;attributes&#8221;:{&#8220;alt&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;class&#8221;:&#8221;media-image&#8221;,&#8221;height&#8221;:&#8221;540&#8243;,&#8221;typeof&#8221;:&#8221;foaf:Image&#8221;,&#8221;width&#8221;:&#8221;960&#8243;}}]]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Shinola&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shinola.com\/jackie-robinson-journal-scorecard.html\">Jackie Robinson Journal Set<\/a> (pictured above)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:20px;\"><strong>Every Picture Tells A Story<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Keeping score of baseball games has long been a uniquely American pastime. To do so effectively, you need to think like a good hitter and keep your eye on the ball.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, keeping score has evolved into one part standard operating procedure, one part art form. So while the guidelines in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shinola.com\/jackie-robinson-journal-scorecard.html\">Shinola\u2019s Jackie Robinson Scorecard Set<\/a> are self-explanatory, they\u2019re also open to interpretation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI doubt if there are any two people, fans, writers, or broadcasters, who keep score with identical symbols and systems,\u201d Barber once said. \u201cI do know that any fan who acquires the habit of scoring his own ballgames will find that it adds much to his enjoyment of the pastime.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s commonly accepted that \u201cW\u201d stands for \u201cwalk\u201d and \u201cK\u201d stands for strikeout, not all scorers observe these conventions religiously.<\/p>\n<p>And not even the pros in the press box can always keep their heads in the game. Longtime New York Yankees announcer Phil Rizzuto, when distracted from the action on the field, would often mark his scorecard \u201cWW\u201d for \u201cWasn\u2019t Watching.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rizzuto\u2019s colorful scoring habits eventually found their way into the stands. Baseball superfan Andorra Fields, who\u2019s been attending and scoring games across the country for more than 20 years, always knows the score.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[[{&#8220;type&#8221;:&#8221;media&#8221;,&#8221;view_mode&#8221;:&#8221;media_original&#8221;,&#8221;fid&#8221;:&#8221;3479&#8243;,&#8221;attributes&#8221;:{&#8220;alt&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;class&#8221;:&#8221;media-image&#8221;,&#8221;height&#8221;:&#8221;540&#8243;,&#8221;typeof&#8221;:&#8221;foaf:Image&#8221;,&#8221;width&#8221;:&#8221;960&#8243;}}]]<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\np.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Garamond}\nspan.s1 {font-kerning: none}<\/style>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Baseball superfan Andorra Fields&#8217; scorecard from the Tigers-Red Sox game April 8, 2017.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you could capture three or four hours in a photograph,\u201d she says, \u201cit\u2019s right there in the scorecard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To remind herself of what\u2019s transpired during a game, Fields often resorts to scribbling pictures on her scorecard.

Fill in each team\u2019s starting lineups, including player\u2019s name, jersey number, and position number (1 for pitcher, 2 for catcher, 3 for first baseman, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>2. Carefully document each at-bat using the numbers and symbols on our Shinola scorecard. For instance, if the leadoff batter in the first inning grounds out to shortstop, that\u2019s scored 6-3 on your scorecard. (Ground ball to \u201c6,\u201d the shortstop, who throws the ball to \u201c3,\u201d the first baseman.)<\/p>\n<p>3. If a batter reaches base (with a walk, single, double, or triple), you can chart his progress by marking a line along the basepaths. If space allows, you can even include \u201cSB\u201d for stolen base or \u201cWP\u201d for \u201cwild pitch\u201d to indicate how the runner advances to the next base.<\/p>\n<p>4. You can add your own unique notes or symbols to each inning, perhaps including bullet points or X\u2019s or some other mark to remind yourself how many outs there are.<\/p>\n<p>5. Be sure to note where each inning ends so that you can accurately track which player bats in which inning.<\/p>\n<p>6. Be sure to keep track of pitching changes, which can happen far more frequently than the insertion of pinch-hitters and pinch-runners.<\/p>\n<p>7. A good transistor radio tuned in to the ballgame can help you keep track of official scoring decisions.<\/p>\n<p>8. Be yourself. Mark your mark. And most of all, have fun! Because baseball is a uniquely American pastime. And scoring a ballgame is an art form uniquely yours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shinola.com\/collections\/jackie-robinson.html\"><span style=\"font-size:26px;\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif;\">Shop the Jackie Robinson Collection<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\np.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Garamond}\np.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Garamond; color: #0000ee}\nspan.s1 {font-kerning: none}\nspan.s2 {text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none; color: #0000ee}\nspan.s3 {font-kerning: none; color: #000000}\nspan.s4 {text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none}<\/style>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click here for a tutorial on scorekeeping in baseball Written by baseball historian, Detroit native, and friend of the brand, Dave Mesrey.
