Baseball scorekeeping is a shorthand method to record all of the details of a baseball game. In baseball, the official scorer will use this method, as will average fans. The scorecard produced by fans doesn't affect the official record keeping of baseball statistics, but is often done for pleasure or better enjoyment of the game. A scorekeeper tracks the result of every play of a game, although many fans find it unnecessary to record some of the smaller details. Every run, hit, out, steal, and pitch of a baseball game can be recorded, yet there is no definitive system for scoring a baseball game. However, the foundations of scorekeeping are fairly universal, and fairly simple. Fans often make modifications to scorekeeping systems to fit their own style.
