For two years I worked as a scoreboard operator and an official scorer for a local High A affiliate. I have 100% sympathy for official scorers after my experience. It is a job that is never satisfactory to either team or the front office. Even the local media and radio broadcasters want to have a say in your decisions as official scorer. While I did have moments of “fun”, being able to watch minor league clubs for free, it’s not a job for the faint hearted.
