From 1957, the year the Dodgers announced their move to Los Angeles, I’ve got my Dodger Blue Royal FPP typewriter ready to go to score the home opener! Blue ink at the ready, I can already hear a military bomber circling my neighborhood on the way to a flyover of the stadium.  ⚾🏟️

We see a baseball scorecard rolled into the carriage of a Blue Royal FP typewriter to score the Arizona Diamondbacks against the Los Angeles Dodgers for their home opener in 2026.

My typewritten baseball scorecard for Tampa Bay Rays at Atlanta Braves on 2026-03-24. I’m trying to work out the cobwebs of my scoring technique before opening day Thursday.

I also filled in a card from my #22 Numbers Game scorebook as well. It’s been ages since I tracked pitches. I’m thinking that this would be a good reason to pull out the old 0.3mm multipen for the next game.

Joe reviews a set of typewritten baseball score sheets sent by a viewer. What other kinds of novel uses for typewriters do you know of?
Interesting to see u/joe_skidiachi_irl‘s experiments in baseball score cards with typewriters show up on Joe Van Cleave’s YouTube Channel.

Opening day of baseball is coming. ⚾ I’m finishing the adjustments and final coats of polish to my 1957 Royal FP standard typewriter in Dodger Blue. It was manufactured the same year that the Brooklyn Dodgers announced their move to Los Angeles, so it will be a fantastic machine to score the 68th Los Angeles home opener on March 26th.

Naturally, it’s got blue ribbon.

My first baseball scorecard in ages, but also my first typed scorecard with format courtesy of Lou Spirito of Thirty81 Press. Besides a few examples by Lou himself and one I saw from Tom Hanks on March 29th, I may be the third person doing this?! It pulls together two spectacular pastimes and creates a lot of fun!
