Can you pull a blank page from it and get a copy shop to make you a few hundred and spiral-bind or comb-bind them?

oh i will this time -- i accidentally used the last page last time and it seemed like scanning it and photoshopping out all the marks might have been a step too far

Sort-of off topic, but my daughter taught herself a lot of Photoshop basics by scanning and un-coloring a coloring book that she'd loved when she was a little kid.

seven months pass...

found my old scorebooks at my dad's house. the earliest game is from 19 september 1980, two days before my ninth birthday -- it seems possible that i was wished a happy birthday on the scoreboard, but i don't remember.

pirates beat the mets 4-3 with rick rhoden scattering 10 singles and going the distance. he also picked two mets (mookie and wally) off first and singled, dropping his season line to .400/.417/.571 at the plate.

four years pass...

Dusty Baker waited 25 seasons, nearly 4,000 games as a manager.

And what does he do during the final play? He doesn’t even watch the play.

He immediately picks up his pencil and marks the play down in his scorebook. pic.twitter.com/y7A2LAHvXm
