I stumbled on They Might Be Giants when they were featured on a music video show on Nickelodeon ("Nick Rocks")

Hmmm... 1974 season but with a transaction freeze after the season?

It's not out of the question, Topps was involved in a number of food releases such as 1970's Hostess baseball cards

Was this Topps? I seem to remember cutting this card off of a cereal box (which doesn't prove that Topps wasn't involved, but...)

With Jean Segura on 3rd and 2 outs, Hamels cleanly fielded an Anthony Rizzo grounder but couldn't get the ball out of his glove, allowing Segura to cross the plate with the winning run.

Championship Game 7

Flamingos 1, Explorers 0

WP - Hyun Jin Ryu (1-1)
LP - Cole Hamels (1-2)

What had been a pitcher's duel ended in an ugly manner, as the Flamingos win the game and the series on an error by Explorers pitcher Cole Hamels.

1961 Topps has a colorful 'less is more' design that I've always liked... but I might be swayed by having a couple of 1961 Topps cards among the first "old" cards I got as a kid

Adam Eaton hit a clutch 2 RBI double followed by a Joey Votto RBI double as the Explorers win their 3rd straight and send this series to a 7th game. David Price allowed plenty of Flamingos on base but left all but one of them stranded

Player of the Game: Eaton: 1 for 5, double, run, 2 RBI

I've thought about this, but I kinda like having a spiral bound book for games I attend

Interesting... I had no idea there were so many 'homebrewed' scorebooks!

Looking for a new baseball scorebook, but I'm just a fan who enjoys keeping score... not tracking pitches or available players, just keeping my head in the game.

Any recommendations?

I've enjoyed watching in past years, but I don't really have a team and I manage to miss the good games (i.e. Japan vs. Korea)

Every time I turn on a WBC game the mercy rule is in play... this is why I'm having trouble getting interested so far
