Anybody else notice that score listed by innings adds up to 50 runs?
Are you talking about the Commercials' score? I think that might be a ten rather than a 19. That would get you to 41 rather than 50. The first time I looked at it, I did think it was a 19 but now I'm pretty sure it's a 10.
And the fact that you guys are out there reading these box scores amuses me to no end. In all honesty, I don't even look at them as close as some of you do. With the pioneer era games, I just tend to look at the names and see who played in the games. I'm usually looking for people I know and people I don't know.
