Bethany Heck, the designer behind the The Eephus League of Baseball Minutiae, reports that she’s working on making EL scorebooks available soon. Here’s the latest:

I’ve been working on an alternate scorebook design that’s a bit larger and a little more down to business. There are more slots for tracking stats and an additional inning per games, and the grid is a bit larger, so you have more room for notation. I’ll also be able to put a lot more cards in a book with this size, probably at least 40 games. These will be 7×10, which is bigger than the pocket size but it’s still purse sized for the ladies and less cumbersome than a 8.5 x 11 spiral bound beast.

See the larger page layout here.

If you’re a regular visitor to the Eephus League site, you’ve probably seen some of my posts over there, as well as those of other baseball tumblrs and blogs. It’s all a part of Heck’s plan to build an EL community. I couldn’t be happier about being asked to contribute, and I hope you’ll visit the site often and do your part to ensure its success, too.

This covers three of my core competencies:

1. Baseball
2. Paper Product
3. Scorebook

If you need me, I’m going to be over here dreaming about what is to come. *faint*

I want this so hard that I don’t even have the words for it.

Pretty much every year, there’s something that makes me think I should score kore baseball games. Looks like we’ve got 2011’s temptress.
