If there ’s one thing I learned about baseball game from my pitcherful granddad , it ’s that you ’re not really watching unless you ’re continue a card .
The only card I ’ve ever used have been flimsy things , printed on news stock and quickly tossed in the circular data file . But graphic designerBethany Heckis attempting to inject a fiddling style into the musical style with theHalfliner Scorebook , a sybaritic - search card that strike Kickstarter a few day ago .
The Halfliner is based on feedback from customers who purchase Heck ’s first scorecard , which was funded on Kickstarter back in 2011 . drug user asked for things like a rigid chipboard causa that serves as a keep for writing and blank for more games ( this one has way for 81 ) . The exceedingly minimum graphic invention allows more space for note , too , plus an intro to the mutation for n00bs and extra innings , bomber slots , and stats columns . According to Heck , everyone has their own unearthly drug abuse and annotation , and the Halfliner is endeavour to give devotees enough room to do their own thing . “ Scorekeeping is a personal expression , ” she says in her pitch . “ I wanna give fans the clean scorebook experience possible . ”
Heck is the founder of theEephus League , a task that began as her senior dissertation at Auburn in 2010 . The ship’s company — which is named for the awkwardly high , slowpitch — began as a way to say “ baseball ’s beauty , curiosity and marvellous fans . ” It ’s since flower into a beautifully designedonline magazineandshopdevoted to the minutia of the sportswoman — of which there is an almost unlimited supplying .
