A 1964 Scoremaster Baseball Score Book

from Dare to Be Random! Hosted by Geoff Cain

Part instruction manual, part time capsule, this 1964 statistics book turns games into legible memory. At its center is C.S. Peterson’s Scoremaster notebook, a standardized language for tracing every trip around the diamond. Diagrams and keys translate the glyphs of the sport: home runs, sacrifice hits, fielder errors, and the small chaos between. Then come the lived pages: handwritten scorecards from real matchups, logging innings pitched, strikeouts, earned runs, and team outcomes for clubs like Salisbury and Frederick. Even the margins speak, carrying period ads for official Spalding and Reach baseballs. Alvin Toffler warned, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” This book is relearning made tangible. It suggests that meaning is something we choose to record. Each penciled symbol says: you were here, this happened, and it mattered, even if just briefly.
