Baseball Game Photo Journal: Separate the Final Score From Your Memories

Separate game facts from your memory

Add the date and teams to a ballpark photo and write one line about a moment you remember. Scores can change during a game, so do not assume one scoreboard photo shows the final result.

After the game, separate the final score you checked in the official record from information you have not confirmed. You can leave uncertain details uncertain.

Notes to help you find the game again

1. 1

   Choose the date you attended and a photo you took.

2. 2

   Write the team you supported and its opponent; mark either as unconfirmed if you do not know.

3. 3

   Separate the time of the score shown in your photo from the final result.

4. 4

   Write one line about a moment you saw and any story a companion has agreed to share.

A fictional midgame and final score

This is an editorial example of a fictional game: ‘Blue team versus Yellow team; fifth-inning scoreboard photo: Blue 2, Yellow 1.’ The photo shows the score at that moment only.

If the official record after the game confirms ‘Blue 3, Yellow 4,’ write the final result on a separate line. You might add an observation such as ‘Everyone in the cheering section applauded together.’

Keeping a shared day

Photography and posting rules differ by ballpark, so check the organizer’s guidance. Look for other spectators’ faces, ticket barcodes and seat details before deciding who can see a photo.

Keep your notes in Pogaem
