Baseball Scoreboard Quotes

“I hate it that they even count errors, Ethan said ... What kind of game is that? No other sport do they do that, Dad. Theres no other sport where they put the errors on the freaking scoreboard for everybody to look at. They dont even have errors in other sports. They have fouls. They have penalties. Those are things that players could get on purpose, you know. But in baseball they keep track of how many accidents you have. * * * Errors ... Well, they are a part of life, Ethan, he tried to explain. Fouls and penalties, generally speaking, are not. Thats why baseball is more like life than other games. Sometimes I feel like thats all I do in life, keep track of my errors. But Dad, youre a grown-up, Ethan reminded him. A kids life isnt supposed to be that way.”

“But baseball was different. Schwartz thought of it as Homeric - not a scrum but a series of isolated contests. Batter versus pitcher, fielder versus ball. You couldn't storm around, snorting and slapping people, the way Schwartz did while playing football.You stood and waited and tried to still your mind. When your moment came, you had to be ready, because if you fucked up, everyone would know whose fault it was. What other sport not only kept a stat as cruel as the error but posted it on the scoreboard for everyone to see?”

— Chad Harbach
